Abstract

The course objective is to provide facilities for the training of professionals able to operate in dynamic environments and diverse, capable of intervening in society to the criteria of innovation, environmental responsibility and entrepreneurship, offers students the mastery of techniques, methods and specific tools project. Currently the UFSC Design course works with a curriculum structure divided into three main nuclei divided as follows: Introductory, Project and Integration with the Market. The big difference is in the format at the nuclei of Project which is composed of modules of disciplines that must necessarily be realized together to build an effective project with the features of the module. Modules are offered in different areas of expertise such as Industrial Design, Graphic, Fashion, Promotional, Experiential, among others, that the academic have free choice. Thus the course enables the student within a general basis of design structure your training suiting your tastes and skills. That said, this paper aims to, through a study to present this curriculum.
