Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

For the remainder of 2020, resulting from Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, any exams that are required for assessment in a unit will be online exams. Online exams may also use online proctoring to help assure the academic integrity of those exams. Please contact your unit convener with any questions.

While the University has made efforts to ensure that Unit Outlines reflect a unit’s learning activities and assessment items, any changes to Australian Government directives because of the COVID-19 pandemic may require changes to these during the semester to ensure the safety and well being of students and staff. These changes will not be updated in the published unit outline, but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Any changes made will continue to meet the unit’s learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus

This first year unit is an introduction to the opportunities, principles and processes of the digital design environment in the field of industrial design. Students will develop fundamental 2D and 3D digital design communication skills, knowledge and methodologies acquired through problem-based design projects. The design process will be applied through design projects to produce creative solutions.

Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Relate the application of digital software to creative expression in design;

2. Apply fundamental techniques for digitally generating products of low complexity; and

3. Recognize the potential of digital design communication techniques for the industrial design profession.
