Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Intended learning outcomes

The purpose of the course is to provide good skills in how to use the computer as a design tool during the design process. The ability to create 3D-modells using various computer programs is the most important ingredients. The student will after completed course;

have knowledge of how the computer can be used as design and construction tool in the design process.
gained the ability to use wide range of computer programs in combination with other aids for visual representation.
being able to construct complex models using CAD-program.
have the ability to analyze and evaluate design qualities on a conceptual level.
show an experimental attitude were the computer tool is integrated.

Course content

Three dimensional CAD program for design purposes. Object based graphic programs. Sketching and presentation techniques. The design project includes a total product based on the man-machine interaction. During the design project the team will deal with the products design, production capability, esthetics, practical function, etc.

Teaching and working methods

The course runs over the entire spring semester. Lectures and seminars treat important parts of the course and follows up with laboratory tutorials. The course ends up with a project were the different contents are demonstrated.
The course runs over the entire semester.
