Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyse the importance of promoting the teaching of reliability of mechanisms in teaching degree in industrial design. An assessment is made of the need for these features provided from the earliest stages of product design, as this allows for a higher quality and economy. The industrial design aims to create a manufacture, device, machine or useful system that is efficient, safe and practical. This is only possible if the correct definition of the functions and design specifications, where an important aspect is the reliability of the designed object, something that should be thoroughly detailed in the conceptual design stage. The experiment was carried out with students in the degree of Industrial Design and Product Development at the University of Extremadura (Spain).
