ENADE Design study plan

ENADE Design · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Enade Bacharelados e Cursos Superiores de Tecnologia

Map the Enade Bacharelados/Tecnologia domain into a one-page checklist of assessable competencies
Diagnose baseline performance by completing a timed 20-question mixed set and logging error types
Build a personal glossary of 30 core design concepts with one-sentence definitions in your own words

A one-page competency checklist plus an error log classifying at least 20 missed items by cause

Week 2

Explain the structure of a design project brief and translate three sample briefs into requirement lists
Apply research and analysis methods to justify design decisions in written form
Draft short justifications linking form, function, and user needs for five products or interfaces

Three written project-brief analyses, each with a requirements list and a 150-word design justification

Week 3

Compare visual language elements (color, typography, grid, hierarchy) and defend two choices per sample
Solve eight calculation or specification problems involving scales, grids, and material constraints
Summarize sustainability and accessibility criteria and apply them to critique two case studies

A two-page critique template applied to two case studies, with all eight problems solved and corrected

Week 4

Review Enamed scope and identify where its competencies overlap with and diverge from domain 1
Convert your domain 1 error log into a prioritized revision list of the five weakest sub-areas
Rehearse a 25-question timed set covering domains 1 and 2 and record per-question timing

A prioritized revision list with the five weakest sub-areas and a timed-set score report

Week 5

Outline the Enamed competency map and annotate each item with your current confidence level
Practice interpreting clinical, ergonomic, or user-context scenarios and justify decisions in writing
Draft a structured response template for scenario-based questions with a clear reasoning sequence

A completed confidence-annotated competency map plus one full written scenario response using the template

Week 6

Compare licensure (Enade das Licenciaturas) competencies with domains 1 and 2 and list the distinct requirements
Analyze the relationship between design, teaching practice, and learning environments across three scenarios
Answer six short constructed-response prompts under time pressure and self-score against explicit criteria

A comparison table of the three domains and six scored constructed responses with written self-feedback

Week 7

Explain the didactic and pedagogical foundations expected of a design licenciado in your own words
Design a 45-minute lesson plan that integrates design content, learning objectives, and assessment
Evaluate three classroom or learning scenarios and propose evidence-based interventions

A complete 45-minute lesson plan with objectives, activities, assessment rubric, and a reflection note

Week 8

Synthesize all three domains into a single one-page review sheet of high-yield concepts
Complete two full timed mock exams under exam conditions and compare scores against your week 1 baseline
Audit remaining weak areas and schedule a two-week maintenance plan for after the course

Two scored mock exams with a one-page synthesis sheet and a written post-course maintenance plan

Week 2: You can write a 150-word design justification that cites user needs and formal choices without notes

Week 4: Timed-set accuracy on domain 1 improves by at least 15 percentage points over the week 1 baseline

Week 6: You score at least 60% on self-scored constructed responses using explicit criteria

Week 8: Both mock exams are completed within time limits, with the final score above your week 1 baseline
