IDE400 : Industrial design I / College of Creative Arts

This studio-base course which is a semester long project will enhance students’ capabilities to simulate understanding and practice of process of designing for human use. This course includes analysis of advance physical properties of ergonomics and applies information on human behavior, abilities, limitation, and other characteristics to the design of tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs, and environments for productive, safe, comfortable, and effective human use. Project will explore the use of ergonomics on shape, structure, function of the product and the detailing of model making. Student will also learn basic skills of design, presentation, and research which enable students to produce three dimensional models from a range of different materials. The lecture topics will be carried weekly which include an exercise to determine student understanding where students are expected to collaborate the ergonomics knowledge with engineering factor and aesthetics value.
