Abstract

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the most prestigious institutions in technological innovation, incorporates art and creativity as a distinctive element of its research, technological degrees, humanities and creative subjects. Unfortunately, art and creativity do not have the same consideration. This study intends to present a work line corresponding to the art-science integration, which is part of a renovation-didactic-project developed in the study-area of industrial design at the Higher Technical School of Engineering and Industrial Design (EscuelaTécnica Superior de Ingeniería y Diseño Industrial, ETSIDI of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain). The benefits of rubric use in order to facilitate a creative-aspects-evaluation guide in the double degree of Engineering in Industrial Design and in Mechanical Engineering will be analysed precisely.
