After a successful course, the student shall

- display knowledge of concepts and methods used when automatizing engineering design
- display knowledge of product development methods and computer-based tools for product modelling and integration of product related information
- display knowledge of product evaluation and testing

- demonstrate the ability to manipulate parameters and rules
- demonstrate the ability to structure design tasks and design knowledge
- demonstrate the ability to recognize and manipulate parameters that influence the design process and results

- demonstrate the ability to analyze a real design process to plan computer support and automation
- demonstrate the ability to describe the various factors that affect the interaction between product development and production

The course will give knowledge of Parametric Design for automatized engineering and design tasks and comprehension of digital tools, and the digital information managed along the process. The aim is to enhances a more efficient and productive process in terms of time and quality.

The course includes the following elements:
- Representation of knowledge and reasoning (Configuration, Parametric design, Generative systems)
- Basic programming commands
- Functions
- Object oriented programming
- Design process
- Computer and visual programming

Instruction consists in lectures and laboratory work.
