Contents
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
Type of instruction
Instruction consists in lectures and laboratory work.
The teaching is conducted in English.
