Course detail

Workshop - Industrial Design II

FSI-YA2Acad. year: 2007/2008


The course is concerned with an interdisciplinary co-operation that integrates the knowledge of the science, technology and arts in the design process of any industrial product. During the semester students are given assignments for a specific product design. 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 "Workshop - Product Design I-II", and "Workshop - Industrial Design I" is assumed. Students are expected to have mastered the fundamentals of drawing and moulding necessary for project presentation as well as the basic 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.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

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. According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. Complete evaluation of the course is calculated as an average of all projects in the semester. If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". Final evaluation takes into account clausura projects as well. 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 workshop education is controlled. Student has to be present in scheduled hours in the schoolroom, work on given projects and wait for consultation, unless a lecturer gives any other individual plan. Student has to inform the lecturer in advance about his working-place in the scheduled education time (studio, workshops, modeling room, eventually college dormitory, home, or producer etc.) – absence is not excused without this information. The excuse of absence is possible only due similar reasons as by work law, e.g. illness. Unexcused absence can lead to give no accepting of project. When total absence is greater than 50% (including excused absence), final project (without obligatory consultations) may not be accepted for impossibility of project solving reasons, and compensatory assigning is not possible.
