6.1 The methodological options will focus on three fundamental pedagogical components: oral exposition focused on the expected contents; study and presentation of works/productions; development of works under teacher guidance.
6.2 The evaluation in those modalities will obey criteria that will be explained in the statements and / or other elements presented. Continuous assessment values the student’s attendance and participation in 10% of the final grade and implies the accomplishment of 3 theoretical-practical works that will have the following weights: 1st assignment – 45%; 2nd work – 30%; 3rd work – 15%.
The exam will have a theoretical component, with a weight of 40%, and a practical component, with a weight of 60%.

3.1 Assimilate and reflect on the origins of ecology and eco design, adapted to the development of the object and its conceptual evolution;
3.2 Enlarge the practical knowledge in the scope of design, having as principals the concepts related to sustainability and ecology;
3.3 Acquire skills at the level of methods and techniques to verify the different applications of the objects, according to the strategies of eco design;
3.4 Know how to associate the ecological character of design to the production of objects;
3.5 Acquire and reflect about concepts of biomimetic while a new method paradigm applied to the product design.
