Graduate Intro to Product Design 1
Description
Introduction to Product Design I provides entering graduate students with their first exposure to the practice of product design. The course format is an intensive 16 week, 7 contact hours per week, with weekly assignments. Course content covers the range of areas of knowledge with which the entry level professional product designer should be familiar and eventually, proficient. However, since only a portion of the students will focus on product design and development professionally, the course focuses on product design knowledge, the ability to understand products and how they are designed. Basic product design skills such as drawing, rough prototyping, and establishing criteria for design is also developed.
