ART 201 - Industrial Design: Product Design and Rapid Prototyping

5 Credits

Ever wondered how the objects you use every day are designed and produced? Would you like to design and create your own? In this course, students will work through the iterative design process and hands-on activities, research, and comparative assessments to create 3-dimensional protypes of their designs. This class is rooted in real-world scenarios, using both analogue and digital design tools and addresses various facets of modern design practices. In this class students will cultivate a diverse design repertoire, delve into novel forms, create physical models, and establish criteria for the evolution of their designs.
