Course Objectives
This course aims to enable students to:
- Develop a basic understanding of the design process from beginning to end; experiencing the following major steps: user research, problem definition, idea generation, idea selection, product detailing, and presentation;
- (Re)define and analyze a problem and its subproblems, and pose a design intent;
- Propose a design solution developed through systematic thinking in response to the following issues: styling, semantics, dimensional coordination, basic user-product interaction, use scenario, physical and functional requirements, producibility, and usability;
- Present design solutions via technical drawings and basic two- and three-dimensional presentation techniques.
Course Content
Continuation of 1250201.
Course Learning Outcomes
Having completed the course, students will have:
- Experienced the overall structure and different steps of a design process, and the design methods and tools appropriate for each step;
- Undertaken basic research (i.e. user, field and market research) to identify, redefine and analyze problems and sub-problems within a given use context;
- Specified a design intent towards a specified problem definition;
- Used conceptual and systematic thinking, as well as specific idea generation tools, to develop design solutions in response to the following issues: styling and redesign, product semantics, dimensional coordination between system elements, basic user-product interaction, use context and scenario, physical requirements, functional requirements, mechanisms, producibility, and usability;
- Used different media both in idea generation and presentation to clearly communicate the specified problem, design intent and solution, including hand sketches, technical drawings, basic CAD drawings, working and appearance models;
- Assessed their peers’ and their own success with reference to the specified design intent and within overall project parameters;
- Undertaken individual timetabling and task planning, and as a team, task distribution, group decision making, and peer assessment;
- Kept a sketchbook to document and reflect on their own design and learning experience.
