Course detail

Workshop - Industrial Design IV

FSI-YA4Acad. year: 2020/2021

The aim of the course is the view on designer’s work as integrated cooperation with knowledge of technology, art and science in the design process of each industrial product. There are assigned specific design projects of the product with more complex function and construction to the students. Main themes of the design projects come from an area of transport design, for example: vehicles, special vehicles, construction machinery, agricultural machinery – tractors, etc. An appropriate project is also for example larger technological unit - scrap yard, water purifier production line etc. The main output of student´s work except technical drawings is a maquette of final design solution in appropriate scale. Topics of smaller secondary task respond to both, requests from external producers, and design contests.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

On the basis of gained experience during the course and the development of creative abilities, the students should be able to work on taks ranging from moderately difficult to complicated in complex design solutions of concrete products and at the same time present their work on appropriate level.

Prerequisites

Participation in seminars is conditional preparedness to work on challenging design task, which should be obtained by previous studies.Knowledge and understanding of spatial creation, art composition and realization of three-dimensional models is necessary. Students are also expected to have the knowledge of the design solution of primitive industrial products. It is desirable knowledge of all the programs that students attended in previous years (Adobe, Rhinoceros, Cinema 4D).

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Creative work in ateliers.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Graded course-unit credit requirements: attendance at lessons, handing over assigned projects by the deadline in a sufficient quality. Presentation of an elaborated project. Design and the level of presentation of each project are evaluated separately.
Resulting evaluation consists of evaluations on projects and exclusive tasks. In total it will be possible to aquire 100 points. Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale.
If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed".
According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.

Aims

The aim of the course is to complement the set of already gained habits and mind processes essential for solving a larger concrete design problem, mainly in the work on more complicated design tasks aimed at the area of mechanical engineering and transportation design. The students should develop their abilities to apply innovative ideas while respecting all the requirements of functional and technological aspects.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Compulsory attendance at seminars. Education runs according to the week schedule. The way of compensation of missed seminars is specified by the tutor.
