Jornada do TCC: mapeamento da experiência de estudantes do departamento de desenho industrial da UTFPR

Abstract

The main goal of this project is to understand the experience of students from the Industrial Design Department (DADIN) at The Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR) while writing their undergraduate thesis. And offer insights on what can be done to improve this experience, considering this activity is mandatory and can cause great impact on most students’ lives. The project was developed based on theoretical background on topics related to this context and a human-centered approach, obtaining information directly from students and co-creating solutions with them. Aiming a broader understanding, professors with more knowledge on the matter were also interviewed. After the analysis of all the information collected, a visual representation of the experience with its pains and opportunities for improvement was created. Along with a digital guide that assembles resources and information that can be accessed by students while working on their final projects.
