Model Making in Product Design IND 108 Spring 02+04+00 Elective 4 8
Academic Unit: Industrial Design
Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: Non
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: The course aims to provide students the necessary production methods and techniques to be used in the 3-dimensional productions of design projects produced in the ‘Product Design Studio’ courses. As a result of the project development process and color, form, function of such items to be tested in a workshop environment.
Course Contents: This course involves the introduction and application of 3-dimensional modeling techniques such as static display, model-making and prototype making as crucial methods of designing and presentation. And also transferring information of materials and includes concerning qualifications for models and model making.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Develops technical skills by acquiring knowledge of the production tools and machines used in contemporary model making.
  • 2- Gains habits of surface generation, surface formation, three-dimensional perception, and three-dimensional comprehension within the framework of form and function integrity in design.
  • 3- Gains experience in the transformation or transfer of project and design concepts into real objects.
  • 4- Develops the ability to test by advancing theoretical analyses to a three-dimensional level in the project process.
  • 5- Acquires the ability to establish a connection between contemporary and simple model production techniques and high technologies, as well as to control production and the process using these technologies.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: - Visual aided presentations - Theoretical knowledge - Lecture post questions and answers - To consolidate with the application - Visa + Final exams
