Course detail

Workshop - Industrial Design II

FSI-YA6Acad. year: 2017/2018

The course should develop the ability of students to work on a design activity. Students are given during the semester specific tasks to design products that have a practical background material (specific company) and consulting capabilities. Examples of the subjects addressed: portable compressor, instrumentation, industrial vacuums, hydraulic shears. The design project is documented by drawing sketches, drawings, perspective views, and a three-dimensional model of final solution. It is assumed that the processing of the project, students will use the experience gained with the program package Adobe and Rhinoceros 3D during the presentation of the project
The course has been upgraded with the support of the OPVK project. "The Studio digital sculpture and new media project", reg. No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0278, is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the statebudget of the Czech Republic.
