Course detail

Workshop - Industrial Design III

FSI-YA3-AAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course is concerned with the interdisciplinary co-operation - the basis of designer’s activity. It integrates the knowledge of science, technology and arts in the design process of any industrial product. Practical tasks (actual company, consultations available) are assigned to students during the semester. The design project is documented by drawing sketches, plan documentation, perspective views, and a three-dimensional model of final solution.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to solve elementary and more difficult projects when designing industrial products and to present their work.

Prerequisites

Completion of courses Industrial design I, II is assumed. Students are expected to have mastered both the drawing and moulding as well as the knowledge of spatial creation, art composition and realisation of three-dimensional models. Students are also expected to have the knowledge of the design solution of primitive industrial products. Knowledge of program Rhinoceros 3D, Photoshop or CorelDraw is desirable.

Co-requisites

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance at lessons, handing over assigned projects by the deadline in a sufficient quality. Presentation of an elaborated project. Design and the level of presentation of each project are evaluated separately.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects and exclusive tasks. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.

Aims

The aim is to familiarize students with problems of solving a design problem and to develop already acquired skills and habits. Students learn how to apply their own invention with respecting all conditions of the product.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The attendance in workshops is controlled. Students are required to attend workshops in scheduled hours, work on given projects and wait for consultation, unless a lecturer gives any other individual plan. Students have to inform the lecturer in advance about his working-place in the scheduled education time (studio, workshops, modelling room, eventually college dormitory, home, or producer etc.) - absence is not excused without this information. The absences are possible only due to serious reasons, e.g. illness. Unexcused absence may cause the project is not accepted. The total absence greater than 50% (including excused absence) may threaten project acceptance.
