IDES-3110 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I
–Fa
3 hours
This hands-on course includes lecture, demonstration,
progressive hand-generated drawing exercises, and project work,
all designed to reveal the hidden keys to training our creativity to
perceive space and the geometry of space with greater authority.
The principles of one-point and two-point perspective and related
visual systems will be presented in a bold problem-solving format
ranging in scale from the simple to the complex in order to
accurately express our conceptual capabilities. (Fee: $350)
IDES-3120 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective II
–Fa
3 hours
Building on the visual authority and refined hand-drawing
skills developed in Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I, this course
explores in greater depth the application of advanced perspective
principles in problem-solving scenarios for a diverse range of
“core content” industrial design exercises. Prerequisite: IDES-3110
Drawing in Dynamic Perspective I.
IDES-3210 Language of Line
–Fa
4 hours
Rapid visualization (Power Drawing) skills will be presented
in lecture, demonstration, progressive hand-generated drawing
exercises, and project work in an in-depth study of the “language
of line” and how it generates visual confidence. The course
analyzes the three keys to drawing authority: form, position and
texture. Further, the course will place these elements into a
process that will produce and solve design problems ranging from
understanding basic volumes to successfully illustrating complex
volumes through study of applied science, ergonomics, and ethics.
Prerequisite: IDES-3120 Drawing in Dynamic Perspective II.
IDES-3220 Innovative Media Systems
–Fa
5 hours
This course will introduce and encompass the application of
creative “mediums” to complete presentation graphic pieces.
Design media such as marker, pastel, tempera, toned pencils,
computer graphics, etc., will be utilized in demonstration and
practical hands-on study to generate impactful presentation
studies. Prerequisite: IDES-3210 Language of Line
IDES-3310
3 hours
Fundamentals of Surface Development I
–Sp
This study will introduce the principles of creating innovative
shapes, forms, and volumes, and explore how they in turn
influence manufacturing systems. Students will engage in using a
variety of materials such as paper, structural foam, plastics, glass,
wood, etc., to successfully convey a three-dimensional model
interpretation. Prerequisite: IDES-3220 Innovative Media Systems.
(Fee: $350)
IDES-3320
4 hours
Fundamentals of Surface Development II
–Sp
The principles of this course will expand the model-building
skill base by working with an advanced palette of materials
to successfully illustrate a set of three-dimensional models.
Prerequisite: IDES-3310 Fundamentals of Surface Development I.
IDES-3410 Three-Dimensional Composition
–Sp
4 hours
This course will lay the foundations for “finishing techniques”
for modeling and act as an overview for the various software,
hardware, hand-crafted, and artisan techniques required to gain
a deeper appreciation of the visual impact potential of a finished
model and/or prototype, and various presentation practices.
Prerequisite: IDES-3320 Fundamentals of Surface Development II.
IDES-3420 Three-Dimensional Presentation
–Sp
4 hours
This course is the natural extension of three-dimensional
composition. The course focuses on the critical importance of
creating, defining, and implementing a series of two-dimensional
sketch rendering ideas and converting those ideas into successful
three-dimensional model series. Prerequisite: IDES-3410 Three-
Dimensional Composition.
IDES-4010 Consumer Product Design
–Fa
4 hours
This course is designed to focus on the development of the
designer’s personal vision and preparation for careers in the area
of product design. Completed solutions will be created by the
candidates through concept sketches, renderings, layout studies,
3-D models, and a final, scale foam study. Prerequisite: IDES-3420
Three-Dimensional Presentation. (Fee: $350)
IDES-4020 Interior Space Design
–Fa
3 hours
This course is designed to focus on the development of the
designer’s personal vision and preparation for careers in the area
of interior design. Completed solutions will be created by the
candidates through the understanding of human scale, consumer
product trends, human interaction, interface, ergonomics, traffic
patterns, interior design materials, etc. Prerequisite: IDES-3420
Three-Dimensional Presentation.
IDES-4030 Transportation Design
–Fa
4 hours
This course is designed to focus on the development of the
designer’s personal and client visions and for preparation with the
career choice of transportation design. Completed solutions will be
created through concept sketches exploring the world of mobility
(aircraft, watercraft, automobile, etc.) Prerequisite: IDES-3420
Three-Dimensional Presentation.
IDES-4040 Architectural/Exterior Space Design
–Fa
4 hours
Architectural exterior space design concentrates on the
discipline of developing the designer’s expertise in utilizing
structural materials to create the next generation of architectural
design systems. Projects will include glass, metals, stone, and a
diverse vocabulary of other materials that integrate the creative
process to build confidence for this vocational choice. Prerequisite:
IDES-3420 Three-Dimensional Presentation.
IDES-4200
4 hours
Professional and Ethical Practices in Design
–Sp
Based on the previous semester’s exposure to various
disciplines within the industrial and innovative design degree,
the candidate will focus on an area of specialization and, with
staff assistance, develop a thesis statement. Further, candidates
will receive coaching from professionals and staff in the areas of
design business ethics. Prerequisite: IDES-4040 Architectural/
Exterior Space Design.
IDES-4300
3 hours
Design Project: Selection Statement, Research,
and Scope
–Sp
With staff and professional support, the candidates will embark
on a research journey to discover real-world, market-applicable
design solution research within a selected area of specialization.
