Course Code: IDSN 3002
Academic Year: 2025-2026
This course builds on the learning in prior semester, in both the study and application of computer-aided design to illustrate assemblies of parts and complex surface character in product applications. A background in lofting history in ship building and twentieth century automotive body design is explored through to current product aesthetic in a C.A.D. medium. An introduction to the underlying suggestive character of the surface is demonstrated to create designs with appeal to specific consumer markets. Students present and communicate design ideas efficiently with SolidWorks and Autodesk StudioTools software. Both these software's are used widely for the design of transportation and consumer products. This course aims to consolidate the learning in SolidWorks and provide a hands-on introduction to the key tools and techniques of Autodesk Studio Tools. Students model objects and take advantage of the project-based lessons to ensure understanding of the applications of the SolidWorks works flow and Autodesk Studio Tools in design projects.
