Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
• Develop a strategic design approach; responding to design constraints and requirements, in relation to a brief
• Illustrate the connections between product design and manufacturing in relation to a design strategy
• Produce design prototypes, through analysis and testing, in support of a design strategy
• Present development work and final product design proposal in response to a brief

Course Content

Project studio that provides a complete and thorough design project from conception through presentation, typically industry sponsored and relating to the sponsor's business. Introduction to professional practice through industry sponsors and design competitions. Studios focus on implementation of the product development process and its methods, including internet research, emerging technology exploration, CAD, rapid prototyping, and aesthetics. Depending on the project, students will work individually or in teams, and learn creative thinking, reduction of concept to practice, manufacturing techniques and feasibility.
