This course introduces students to design problems which require the application of the design process in order to arrive at creative and feasible solutions. The course is based around design projects as well as some critical review of design literature. The projects provide experience working with a restricted range of materials and manufacturing processes in the design and development of fully resolved product proposals. Students will be required to develop a good understanding of their own use of the design process. Skill development will emphasise the area of rapid exploration and communication of design ideas using a range of media.
