Semester 1

  • Learn the fundamentals of design thinking. You’ll discover the art, science and business aspects of design. You’ll learn through various design process techniques how to solve problems creatively.

  • Learn to draw objects accurately. You’ll use one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective; practice plotting light, shadow, and reflection; and use visualization methods and freehand drawing techniques to create accurate drawings of basic forms.

  • Turn concepts and two-dimensional sketches into quick three-dimensional product models. You’ll focus on speed, safety, accuracy as you increase your ability to communicate and evaluate your ideas.

Semester 2

  • Combine your introductory drawing and model making skills to explore your personal and professional interests under an assigned general topic. You’ll go through a typical design process that includes preparation, design research, design, and implementation phases.

  • Practical freehand sketching abilities are a valuable asset. You’ll apply line, light, shade, shadow, value and contrast to shapes found in manufactured products, and begin the use of color.

  • Learn digital 3D modeling using industry standard NURBS solid 3D modeling software. You’ll explore basic tools and techniques to transform 2D design sketches into digital 3D models.

Semester 3

  • Develop your understanding of materials, the manufacturing process, and how both play a part in the design process. You’ll investigate the major types of plastics and metal categories and their respective characteristics, and how they’re used in various product manufacturing processes.

  • Merge your more advanced drawing, model making and digital modeling skills to explore your personal and professional interest within a broad topic through a more sophisticated design process.

  • Rapid freehand sketching techniques will improve your work. You’ll quickly sketch free and geometric forms focusing on textures and material delineation. 

Semester 4

  • Explore design’s social, political, and cultural impact on the world. You will analyze historical precedents and make projections about the responsibilities and challenges designers may face in the decades to come.

  • Use creativity to explore and develop forms in a digital context. You’ll study basic sub-divisional modeling commands, features, and workflows on a polygon modeling software to create photorealistic renderings suitable for 3-D printing. Polygon modeling software is often used in entertainment, footwear, and product design.

  • Apply your advanced skills and sophisticated understanding of the design process to a topic of your choice. Prepare for MA final review or MFA mid point reviews. Finish with a comprehensive portfolio piece.
