Abstract

The teaching of materials in design is an important topic in products design degrees, especially after the entry of the bologna process. Regarding materials teaching, we have noticed that deserved attention has not been given, which is essential to good design practice, not having until then verified a paradigmatic change in teaching methodologies that enhance the importance of this area for the training of designers. This abstract introduces a first analysis in the study of the interconnection between web platforms materials and physical materials library since it considers important the interconnection between technological innovation in terms of materials and the applications and web platforms with materials. We believe that the interconnection can promote an improvement in the knowledge and manipulation of the materials of the students of design (communication, product, and industry), promoting better teaching that enhances the creativity and performance of the students during their academic life. It is considered that the proposed research is relevant in the current situation and placement of the design studies in the national and international paradigm. We think it´s important to realize if the academies follow the evolution of industry. The methodology used in this research process will be mixed, theoretical with a focus on practice. It is therefore intended to explore the shortcomings and needs of the curricular contents of the programs of technologies to be taught in product design courses at the 1st cycle level (Bsc), seeking to lead to a new methodology and/or pedagogical approach adjusted to the disciplinary area, to preferably at the curricular programs of design course.
