| Målsætning : | This course gives an insight into the process of designing a product using computerized visualizing tools, from the initial idea to the prototype, and production methods. Students also achieve an understanding of the development process by being part of a development team. To give the engineering students a basic/advanced insight in working with modern CAD systems – feature based solid modeling system. This course is designed around a process-based approach to training. The process-based training, emphasizes the processes and procedures you follow to complete a particular task. By utilizing case studies to illustrate these processes, you learn the necessary commands, options and menus in the context of completing a design task. The main goal of this course is to teach the student how to build standard models as well as advanced freeform shapes. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Sharpen the students’ aesthetic sensibility. • Give the student tools to be better at creative thinking. • Follow an iterative design process. • Conduct user-focused design research, based on ethnographic methodologies. • Understand the principles of creativity and ideation. • Apply basic design methods for a product/system within the fields of: Utility, Appearance, and Ease of maintenance, Low costs and communication. • Analyze and compare with existing products • Work both independently and in a group • Argue for a selected design solution • Characterize a product by a range of descriptive and analytical models. • Describe a product by identifying its processes, organs and components. • Identify standard elements, machine elements and components in a simple product. • Account for the characteristics of different drawing views (projections and axonometric) and choose the most efficient views for a specific problem. • Make drawings and sketches and diagrams, describing the structure and design of a machinery and use them for 3D models and manufacturing drawings. • Make a model of a product consisting of several components in an advanced CAD-system and use the models as the basis for making manufacturing drawings. • Use graphical models in problem solving and presentation of design proposals. • Carry out a simple design project. |

| Hovedindhold : | The focus of this course is on the fundamental skills, tools, and concepts central to successfully building multibody and freeform shapes/models. The course would cover all the standard tools in a feature based parametric CAD system. Computerized 3D visualizing tools for preparation of presentation material and production drawings will be used. Stereo lithography (SLA), CNC (computer numerical control), reverse engineering (3D scanning) and casting techniques will be used for rapid prototyping. Relevant excursions will be arranged during the semester. Applications of Industrial Design techniques to an effective Product Development approach. The Industrial Design techniques will focus on Utility, Appearance, and Ease of maintenance, Low costs and communication. This course will be taught by engineers as well as industrial designers. |
||
| Undervisningsform : | The teaching is based on a “design-led approach”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real-life problems, and to learn new concepts in that are not covered in the lectures. There will be introductory and summing up lectures to CAD and industrial design. Project work in small groups includes computer simulations, use of internet search engines and case studies. |
