- Description
- Students solve design problem(s) using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) methods, advanced commands, 2-D and/or 3-D modelling techniques, rendering, shading, and animation techniques.
- Prerequisite
- DES2055: CAD 2
- Parameters
- Access to a computer with CAD software, a printer and/or plotter.
Outcomes The student will:
1 use advanced features of CAD program to design and model a working prototype of a solution to an advanced level design problem
1.1 identify an advanced CAD problem
1.2 develop a solution that uses advanced software features, such as student-developed materials, lighting, walk through, Booleans, biological form, multi-part, mechanical, intricate detail, animated assemblies
1.3 create a model, image and/or working drawings on a computer in response to the outlined problem
2 demonstrate the ability to locate and use advanced tools, resources and processes of the program when working with design or model; e.g., tutorials, help, manuals
3 produce and present a portfolio-ready CAD drawing, image or rendering
3.1 participate in interim critiques; e.g., self, peer, instructor
3.2 assess intentions and decision making related to the application of elements and principles of design
3.3 present images for assessment
3.4 maintain a design folder, journal or sketchbook as part of the portfolio of ongoing activities that illustrates skill building
