This course develops the skill to conceive and create a three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional plane. Three-dimensional objects are created in response to a design brief that specifies functional requirements as well as a prospective user. Students specify and present design ideas in the form of concept drawings and technical drawings, considering aspects of efficient material usage, simplicity in assembly and basic ergonomics. As part of the design and assembly process, students learn basics of material properties, cutting techniques and types of connections between elements.
