Modellazione digitale 3D: strumenti operativi per iniziare (POK)

Offered by Politecnico di Milano,
Modellazione digitale 3D: strumenti operativi per iniziare (POK)

Valutare e gestire i principali dispositivi per la modellazione e la grafica digitale in architettura. Il corso si propone di fornire indicazioni utili per la valutazione e la gestione dei principali dispositivi impiegati nell’ambito della modellazione e della grafica digitale in architettura. Ci si soffermerà in particolare sulla configurazione del PC e sull’installazione di software in ambiente Windows e MacOS.

Questo MOOC è composto da due week:
Week 1 – Preparare l’ambiente di lavoro
Week 2 – Il computer e il software
La prima week si articola a sua volta in due lezioni.

Nella prima lezione, “Strumenti e risorse”, si parla del rapporto fra modellazione digitale e relativo corredo strumentale di supporto, nella professione e nei corsi di studio in architettura, incluse le principali risorse software messe gratuitamente a disposizione dal Politecnico di Milano agli allievi e ai docenti, e le strutture laboratoriali presenti nei nostri Campus.
Nella seconda lezione, “Hardware e dispositivi” , richiameremo i concetti di hardware e software, con una breve panoramica sui principali dispositivi di input e output impiegati in architettura, sulle interfacce uomo-macchina, e sul ruolo centrale del computer in quanto fulcro operativo di questo sistema.
La seconda week, si compone invece di tre lezioni. Iniziamo con “Uno sguardo alla configurazione del Computer”, in cui vengono descritte le principali caratteristiche tecniche consigliate per la configurazione di un computer dedicato alla modellazione digitale in architettura, con riferimento a CPU, scheda grafica e memoria di lavoro, schermo e interfacce di controllo, e continuiamo con alcuni cenni ai sistemi di archiviazione fisica e online, alle app e ai driver, al collegamento fra dispositivi e fra postazioni di lavoro.
La seconda lezione, “Installare software in ambiente Windows” , verte sulle procedure di installazione di software in ambiente Windows, con alcuni consigli sulla gestione degli account amministratore e ospite, e dei programmi antivirus, durante l’installazione di software, driver, firewall, e aggiornamenti del sistema operativo, e su come evitare le principali problematiche riscontrabili in questa fase.
Nella terza e ultima lezione, “Installare software Windows in ambiente MacOS”, vengono descritte la procedura di installazione di software nativo o compatibile in ambiente MacOS su computer Apple, e alcune strategie per l’installazione di software non nativo su macchine Apple con processori di tipo Intel (e non di tipo M), mediante partizione Windows dell’hard-disk o per emulazione tramite virtual machine.

Examining and exploring the various types of images and graphic elements will be the focus of this course. We will start with color theory to distinguish between CMYK, Pantone and RGB color options and their usages. Then we will review the various types of images used in both print and digital design projects. Finally we will look at logo designs to determine what makes for the best images and graphic elements for corporate branding and imaging.

Welcome to Graphic Design, the second course in the Effective Communications Specialization. Over 70 different companies have provided this specialization to their employees as a resource for internal professional development. Why? Because employers know that effective visual communication is the key to attracting an audience, building a relationship, and closing the sale. "This course is fantastic. It teaches a great amount of starter graphic design information but it is broken down into easily understood videos and quizzes. The quality was top notch and the interaction was as good as you would get in a brick and mortar school. I did not feel like I was missing anything by taking it online." - a recent Graphic Design student.

Basic Modeling for Discrete Optimization (Coursera)

Optimization is a common form of decision making, and is ubiquitous in our society. Its applications range from solving Sudoku puzzles to arranging seating in a wedding banquet. The same technology can schedule planes and their crews, coordinate the production of steel, and organize the transportation of iron ore from the mines to the ports. Good decisions in manpower and material resources management also allow corporations to improve profit by millions of dollars.

Techniques of Design-Oriented Analysis (Coursera)

This is Course #2 in the Modeling and Control of Power Electronics course sequence. The course is focused on techniques of design-oriented analysis that allow you to quickly gain insights into models of switching power converters and to translate these insights into practical converter designs. The design-oriented techniques covered are the Extra Element Theorem and the N-Extra Element Theorem (N-EET). Through practical examples, it is shown how the EET can be used to simplify circuit analysis, to examine the effects of initially unmodeled components, and to design damping of converters such as SEPIC and Cuk to achieve high-performance closed-loop controls.
