What this paper is about
This paper presents students with the challenge of designing different types of simple industrially manufactured projects. The students are challenged to experiment beyond their previously acquired knowledge, designing and prototyping for small scale manufacturing.
How this paper will be taught
This paper is taught through a series of lectures and studios and it relies on Moodle for the communication with the students.
Class attendance and active participation are expected. The course notes provided are not comprehensive, additional material will be covered in class. Students are responsible for all content covered in class.
Students are expected to devote much time to practical work. Just turning in the first attempt at each practical is not acceptable. Students should experiment with the concepts discussed in class to gain a full understanding of the delivered material.
Attendance at lectures and studios is compulsory.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessments
How you will be assessed
Freehand sketching skills
Demonstrate an understanding of form through the use of hand drawing techniques. Use elevation, perspective and surface finish to explore an object's volume.
Technical drawing skills
Elaborate and pinpoint the precision and details through the use of technical drawing techniques. Produce orthographic drawings and section view to explain an object’s shape and other properties.
Modelling and prototyping techniques
Demonstrate an understanding of form, function, and basic ergonomics through the use of quick prototyping and modelling techniques.
Design research
Students will need to demonstrate research skills, appreciation of target market, creative direction and an understanding of minimalism and simplicity. Students will research and investigate how people, cultures and societies engage with their environment. Such processes are required to validate the proof of concept. In addition, they are expected to engage in critical reflection and constructive criticism of both their own work and that of their peers as part of the design process.
Integration, execution, and presentation
Practical skills of freehand sketching, technical drawing, modelling and prototyping techniques supported by relevant and proper design research will then be used culminate in a mock up and presentations that demonstrate an understanding of relevant ergonomics, materials and processes.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
