Design and Drawing for Production

 

This is an introductory course, which develops student problem solving skills, with emphasis placed upon the concept of developing a 3-D model or solid rendering of an object. Students focus on the application of visualization processes and tools provided by modern, state of the art computer hardware and software. The course will emphasize the design development process of a product and how a model of that product is produced, analyzed and evaluated, using a computer aided design system through the creation of various products such as a desk set, puzzle cube, weathervane, or injection molded soap dish. Techniques learned are equally applicable to areas such as garment design, archaeological or accident reconstruction, simulated surgery, advertising or animated films. This course is an Art Education and Technology Education course and can be used as a substitute for the Art/Music graduation requirement for graduation. DDP is the first course in the Project Lead the Way Pre-Engineering foundation course sequence.
