3.00 Credits
This course focuses on research and development of a new and innovative product. Students will do everything from market research and product definition to the creation of a professional-appearance model and a fully documented design database. The product must involve the design of a complex assembly, combining a variety of manufacturing processes. Students are responsible for researching every aspect of the project and for developing a clear budget for all tooling costs for materials. Course includes field trips to manufacturers and the presentation of case studies of complete development cycles. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-2710 PRODUCT DESIGN III: PRODUCT SEMANTICS, 22-2715 ADVANCED CAD FOR PRODUCT DESIGN
-
1.00 Credits
Two-day workshop focuses on a variety of short topics. Course presents a special topic in a short but intense workshop environment. Areas that may be included are as follows: special manufacturing processes, material and color selection, marketing strategies, special rendering techniques, research methods, visiting designers, or long distance field trips. Students write a paper on the topic covered. 1 CREDIT PREREQUISITES: 22-2710 PRODUCT DESIGN III: PRODUCT SEMANTICS
-
3.00 Credits
Course focuses on the development and subsequent testing and refinement of a new product. Students research and develop a new product resulting in a working prototype to be field tested, videotaped, and analyzed. Based on this analysis, refinements are made and product is prototyped again and re-tested. Students work with CAD/CAM software or rapid prototyping to develop the original prototype, thereby learning the refinement process and the flexibility of parametric design database. Course introduces case studies along with methods of field-testing, videotaping, and compiling information into a visual database for presentation. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-3725 PRESENTATION GRAPHICS/RENDERING
-
3.00 Credits
Course introduces product design students to essential methods of digital presentation techniques. Students focus on a variety of advanced digital techniques for utilizing graphic design programs, digital presentation programs, and portfolio development strategies. Students use work from past projects to develop more polished and sophisticated presentations in preparation for their portfolios and internships including the design and production of a CD-ROM and animations. 3 CREDITS

3.00 Credits
Course is dedicated to advanced manufacturing processes as they concern product designers. Students build on material covered in the introductory course as well as processes introduced within the design studio sequence. Advanced processes are examined along with the connection between product designers and engineers. Interrelationship between CAD/CAM and rapid prototyping is addressed in greater detail, as are issues of green manufacturing, design for disassembly (DFD), and specialized batch production. Field trips to advanced manufacturing sites or presentations from material and process specialists form a key component of the class. Coursework includes a design-related project. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-2715 ADVANCED CAD FOR PRODUCT DESIGN
-
3.00 Credits
Course introduces students to the essential methods of presentation and rendering. Course combines a variety of manual and digital approaches. Students learn to render in a variety of media using different techniques. Course covers theory behind presentations, including consideration of the elements of a successful presentation. Digital component involves learning fundamentals of important graphic programs (Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop), thereby enabling students to develop the graphic component of a project into a professional portfolio piece and sophisticated design booklets. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-3700 PRODUCT DESIGN IV
-
3.00 Credits
Course allows a student to choose a semester-long project under the advisement of a faculty member. Students select an area of interest and conduct all necessary research, development, prototyping, and refinement required for the development of a successful product. Requirements include market research, cost analysis, prototyping, and field-testing and refinement. Students produce a complete booklet documenting the full process and completed product in its entirety. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-3725 PRESENTATION GRAPHICS/RENDERING
-
3.00 Credits
Course consists of a semester-long project chosen by the student under advisement of a faculty member. If approved by a faculty member, this can be a continuation of 22-3740 Product Design Thesis I. Students select an area of interest in order to broaden material and process awareness. Completion of project requires a complex user interface and extensive research into the development of a working virtual prototype. Students spend the first third of the semester doing research and are responsible for the development, prototyping, and refinement required to create a successful product. Requirements also include market research, cost analysis, prototyping, field-testing, and refinement. Student produces a complete booklet documenting the full process and the completed product in its entirety. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-3740 PRODUCT DESIGN THESIS I
-
3.00 Credits
Course examines professional business practices within a design consulting firm or design office of a manufacturer. Students focus on a variety of specialized activities that commonly occur inside a design office. Through a series of design problems, students are exposed to working in design teams, designing over a network, researching methods, and researching alternative ways to manufacture a single product. Course is taught as a seminar with short projects geared toward an understanding of the professional office environment. 3 CREDITS PREREQUISITES: 22-3740 PRODUCT DESIGN THESIS I
