Industrial Design 5

Description

This module involves a significant industrial design project. It will be the culmination of the learners undergraduate programme, usually involving primary and secondary research. It may include field work and/or laboratory and/or studio and/or workshop based work. Although the learner may be focused on a specific aesthetic and/or technical design opportunity, their work must show an appropriate level of research, rigour, analysis, investigation and implementation. The output of the project(s) will be a fully finished prototype, an aesthetically and/or technically complete solution. It will be support by full process documentation, describing the design thinking process, user analysis, concept development and selection, detail design, models and intermediate prototypes, manufacturing information and final client presentation.
