Course Objectives
This course aims to enable students to:
-
Prepare inclusive production plans for supplying and producing processes.
-
Make documentation for planned and applied processes.
-
Use different materials and production techniques for realizing designed products.
-
Present design solutions via technical drawings and basic two- and three-dimensional presentation techniques and models.
-
Follow and be aware of the working environment and community.
Course Content
The objective of this course is to develop student`s awareness on potentials of materials and basic and creative processes to shape those materials into finished pieces; to equip students with basic thinking and operational abilities to build (realize) their 3D models, through analyzing their individual projects and helping them to develop their critical thinking in realization of their work, helping them to analyze sequential nature of production, fabrication and construction, finishing and putting different sub processes into an order. Guiding students to generate their own way of doing things through execution of his/her work.
Course Learning Outcomes
Having completed the course, students will have:
-
Experienced the overall structure and different steps of a model making process, and the model making methods and tools appropriate for each step;
-
Undertaken basic research to recognize and analyze materials, production techniques and possible problems within a planned process;
-
Used systematic thinking, to develop model solutions in the progress of model making period.
-
Assessed their peers’ and their own process 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 documentation-book to document and reflect on their own learning experience.
