Materials and Processes

Develop your understanding of materials, the manufacturing process, and how both play a part in the design process. You’ll investigate the major types of plastics and metal categories, their respective characteristics, and how they’re used in various product manufacturing processes. (This course is cross-listed with IND 651.)

Portfolio Development

Get approval to work alone or collaborate with a group on a proposed project that caters to your needs and interests. (This course is cross-listed with IND 384.)

Model Making 3

Leveraging the machining knowledge from IND 271, you’ll further refine your modeling skills to create a functional prototype. You will combine appropriate hard modeling and electronic components to create a high-quality looks-like/works-like model.

Introduction to Digital 3D Modeling

Learn digital 3D modeling using industry standard NURBS solid 3D modeling software. You’ll explore basic tools and techniques to transform 2D design sketches into digital 3D models.

Materials and Processes

Develop your understanding of materials, the manufacturing process, and how both play a part in the design process. You’ll investigate the major types of plastics and metal categories, their respective characteristics, and how they’re used in various product manufacturing processes. (This course is cross-listed with LA 329.)

AI in Object Design

You will learn to design objects using Generative Artificial Intelligence. Delve into integrating AI techniques in the creative process, including defining a design objective, developing a design research strategy, creating mood boards and sketches, and employing creative prompting to generate concepts. (This course is cross-listed with IND 703.)

Model Making Fall Studio

Turn concepts and two-dimensional sketches into quick three-dimensional product models. You’ll focus on speed, safety, accuracy as you increase your ability to communicate and evaluate your ideas.

Computer Drafting

Develop skills in drafting and mechanical drawing to clearly communicate three-dimensional design ideas. Using industry-standard dimensioning principles and Autodesk Fusion, you’ll learn to translate concepts into precise visual representations.

Design Project 2

Merge your more advanced drawing, model-making, and digital modeling skills to explore your personal and professional interest within a broad topic through a more sophisticated design process.

Digital 3D Modeling 1

Turn your 2D design sketches into digital 3D models. You’ll use NURBS solid 3D modeling software, modelmaking tools, and techniques to create digital 3D models.
