APDZ 383 Digital Design Fabrication and Prototyping5 credits
This course provides a survey of the field of design fabrication and prototyping from the perspective of design, materials, and industry practices. Students will be guided through a lab environment using rapid prototyping devices and physical modeling techniques. Theoretical underpinnings will suggest how the “machine” is becoming more integrated into the design process.
Prerequisites: ENGT 131 or GAME 124 (or CAD equivalent) and admission to the BAS in Design Program or instructor permission.
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Demonstrate familiarity with contemporary fabrication/prototyping techniques
- Critically evaluate design work from a fabrication/ prototyping perspective
- Demonstrate a broad understanding of the tools, software, and equipment used in digital fabrication and prototyping
- Implement methods of digital fabrication and physical prototyping into designs
- Employ creative and critical thinking to enhance problem solving
- Produce a portfolio artifact or research paper that synthesizes techniques taught in this course
Total Hours: 60 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 40 Guided Practice (Lab or Clinical) Hours: 20
