2º Bachillerato Design Syllabus
The Aragón PAU Design exam (Diseño) is administered by the PAU Organising Commission of Aragón / UNIZAR for 2nd Bachillerato students. The exam lasts 90 minutes and is graded on a 0–10 scale (minimum 4.0 required in the Access Phase). Note that local questions on this platform are an English-language MCQ study adaptation created to help students master the underlying 2nd Bachillerato curriculum.

1What is the primary objective of a project brief (briefing) in design methodology?
A.To finalize technical manufacturing code for automated production lines
B.To establish legal retail tax rates for the finished commercial product
C.To outline project objectives, target audience, constraints, budget, and scope
D.To replace empirical user research with subjective designer intuition
Explanation: A project brief (briefing) is the foundational document in design methodology that defines the project scope, client expectations, target user profile, technical constraints, budget, and key performance indicators. It serves as an objective reference throughout the design process to evaluate proposed solutions.
2Which phase of the Design Thinking framework involves creating low-fidelity physical or digital representations to explore ideas?
A.Empathize
B.Define
C.Prototype
D.Ideate
Explanation: The Prototype phase focuses on building tangible, scaled, or digital representations of concepts developed during ideation. Prototyping allows designers to test hypotheses, identify functional or aesthetic flaws early, and gather actionable feedback before committing to full production.
3In ergonomics and product design, anthropometry specifically deals with:
A.Analyzing psychological consumer triggers during online purchasing decisions
B.Evaluating acoustic reverberation times in enclosed architectural spaces
C.Measuring physical dimensions, proportions, and motion capabilities of the human body
D.Calculating structural stress vectors under dynamic mechanical loading
Explanation: Anthropometry is the scientific study and measurement of human body dimensions (height, reach, limb length, weight, grip strength). Designers use anthropometric data tables (percentiles) to size products, furniture, and workstations to fit specified user populations comfortably and safely.
4Which anthropometric percentile range is standard when designing workstation seat heights to accommodate the vast majority of adults?
A.1st percentile to 100th percentile absolute extremes
B.90th percentile to 99th percentile tallest males only
C.5th percentile female to 95th percentile male (P5 - P95)
D.50th percentile average adult only (P50)
Explanation: Designing for the range between the 5th percentile female and 95th percentile male ensures that at least 90% of the target population can comfortably use adjustable products such as office chairs or vehicle seats.
5What is bionics (or biomimicry) in product and structural design?
A.The integration of electronic sensors into human prosthetics
B.The decorative application of floral patterns onto ceramic tableware
C.The study of biological structures, mechanisms, and processes to solve human engineering and design challenges
D.The synthetic chemical formulation of biodegradable bioplastics from algae
Explanation: Bionics (biomimicry) investigates biological principles, natural structures, and evolutionary adaptations (such as honeycomb weight efficiency or shark-skin drag reduction) to innovate functional, structural, and aerodynamic design solutions.
6What does a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluate in sustainable product design?
A.The patent protection expiration timeline across international jurisdictions
B.The environmental impacts of a product across raw material extraction, manufacturing, transport, usage, and end-of-life disposal
C.The retail price elasticity and market depreciation over a 5-year sales window
D.The visual aesthetic trends of product packaging over successive generations
Explanation: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a quantitative eco-design methodology that audits environmental burdens (carbon footprint, water usage, toxicity) at every stage of a product's life: from raw material extraction ('cradle') to end-of-life management ('grave' or 'cradle').
7Which design philosophy advocates for products to be designed so that all materials can be continuously recycled back into biological or technical nutrients?
A.Less is More
B.Planned Obsolescence
C.Form Follows Function
D.Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C)
Explanation: Developed by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) eliminates the concept of waste. It mandates that products be designed so biological materials safely decompose into ecosystems, and technical materials continuously circulate in closed industrial loops.
8What is the primary difference between a scale mock-up and a functional prototype?
A.A mock-up measures ergonomic grip pressure, while a functional prototype tests packaging graphics
B.A mock-up is always generated using 3D metal printing, while a prototype is made of cardboard
C.A mock-up evaluates visual volume and form without operational mechanisms, while a functional prototype tests working mechanical performance
D.A mock-up is intended for mass retail distribution, while a prototype is discarded immediately
Explanation: In design verification, a mock-up (or aesthetic model) is a physical full-scale or reduced-scale model used to assess spatial proportion, visual appeal, and aesthetic finish. A functional prototype contains working mechanical, electrical, or structural components to evaluate real-world performance.
9In the British Design Council's 'Double Diamond' design model, what are the four distinct phases of the process?
A.Sketch, Render, Mold, Assemble
B.Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver
C.Empathize, Draft, Pitch, Archive
D.Research, Manufacture, Market, Sell
Explanation: The Double Diamond model maps the creative design process into four sequential phases across two expanding (divergent) and narrowing (convergent) diamonds: Discover (user research), Define (problem framing), Develop (solution ideation), and Deliver (testing and launch).
10Which user-centered design research tool maps out a persona's sequential step-by-step experience, emotions, touchpoints, and pain points when interacting with a product or service?
A.Modular Grid Matrix
B.Customer Journey Map
C.Anabolic Somatotype Chart
D.Color Harmony Wheel
Explanation: A Customer Journey Map is a visual representation of the stages a user goes through when interacting with a service or product. It highlights user goals, emotional states, touchpoints, and friction areas to guide human-centered design improvements.
