Introduction to the fundamentals of industrial design. This is a studio-based course that will introduce the student to industrial design methodology. Emphasis will be placed on divergent thinking skills, development processes, technical skills, and communication. There will be development of simple exemplary products.

The goal of this course is to provide an introduction to tools and techniques from industrial design. The course objective will be accomplished by providing students with a working knowledge of how to conceptualize, de

fi ne,

formulate, develop and communicate concepts and ideas, using a variety of techniques and methodologies through 2D and 3D media and to develop a critical attitude towards existing products.

This is a studio-based course that requires active student participation. The class will meet 3 days per week up to 3 hours each day. Class sessions will be comprised of lecture demonstrations, in-class exercises, project assignments, critique sessions, guest speakers and individual meetings.
