Description

This is the first of two courses designed to provide a platform of understanding of physical principles and manufacturing technologies encountered by Industrial Designers. A basic understanding of the principles and related physical properties of materials, mechanical devices, electricity and electronic products is covered. Such knowledge will enable students to comprehend and conceive of product design solutions that are informed by realistic expectations in terms of estimated product function, performance and use. In addition, the course will enable students to discuss their design proposals with technical experts, such as manufacturing engineers and materials specialists.
