MET U633 - Vehicle Art Design and Engineering

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Offers a technical and artistic exploration of vehicle design. Introduces students to methodology and criteria unique to vehicle product development including technical, historic, economic, and cultural aspects of terrestrial, aerial, marine, and specific-purpose vehicle design. Develops technical and artistic vehicle concepts using CAD and computer animation tools that may be able to respond to inherent concerns and societal aspirations relative to land, sea, and air transportation. These concerns include the environment, emerging technologies for power generation, aesthetics, and the global economy. Integrates technical bases of engineering science and design, the power of computational tools, and the intrinsic artistic creativity of an engineer. Stresses exploration, analysis, and communication of the design concepts, and encourages peer critique in order to reinforce the validity, usability, and technical feasibility of the concepts. Requires students to present their design projects in the proper computer format as to be able to raise interest of the public through computer visual display and automatic explanation of the characteristics of the concept.
