Industrial and Innovative Design (IDES)
IDES-2000 History and Influences of Design
–Sp
3 hours
Survey of design from the 17th century to the present. The
course highlights significant stages in the development and pivotal
influences of design including technological advances, individual
works, key movements, schools of thought, and approaches
relative to time(s) and culture(s). Crosslisted with VCD.
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)

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
