Obiettivi / Competenze I seminari integrati FabLab puntano a coinvolgere gli studenti dei corsi di laurea
mirate Bachelor del DACD in un percorso per lo sviluppo di competenze digitali, in
particolare, nel settore della digital fabrication per il design, l’architettura e la
comunicazione visiva.
I seminari integrati coinvolgono un gruppo di studenti in un percorso in cui,
dall’idea al progetto reale, si disegna in 3D e si fabbrica digitalmente e
collaborativamente un’installazione o struttura architettonica con semplici
elementi in scala 1:1.
Il programma dei seminari offre lezioni teoriche e sessioni pratiche per
presentare gli strumenti, le tecniche e le tecnologie di digital fabrication e i
macchinari del FabLab DACD, in particolare la fresatrice a controllo numerico e
le macchine per il taglio laser.
Il completamento del percorso didattico e la realizzazione del progetto finale si
svolgono nei due seminari, i quali sono considerati complementari e indivisibili.
Nel periodo tra il primo seminario del semestre autunnale e il secondo seminario
del semestre primaverile, gli studenti sono coinvolti in alcuni incontri intermedi di
condivisione di tutorial e risorse per lo sviluppo del progetto finale.

Codice MTH 10.3
Crediti 5.0 ECTS Semestre di riferimento 2°
Durata 1 semestre Frequenza Obbligatorio
Obiettivi / Competenze The Master's thesis corresponds to 30 ECTS credits and represents the final and
mirate most significant stage of a training programme. Thesis work is divided into three
modules: MTH 10 preparation, MTH 20 development of the work and MTH 30
discussion and conclusions.
Students are encouraged to develop their interests and skills, demonstrating their
ability to use an interdisciplinary approach to discuss historical-artistic, scientific
and technical aspects. Planning, organizing and writing a thesis allows students

professional growth and a required skill for the development of an experimental
and innovative approach towards the profession.
With the Master’s thesis, students must demonstrate that they are able to:
- identifying and confronting specific problems independently;
- address theoretical frameworks and practical issues in a critical, scientifically
grounded and technically competent manner;
- effectively communicate obtained results in written and oral forms.
For more information see the Master’s thesis guidelines available at Moodle
https://moodle.bfh.ch/course/view.php?id=5456.
