Computer Aided Design and Development

At the end of the course, students should be able to 1. demonstrate the understanding of computer hardware, software systems; and 2. translate 3-dimensional digital models into real objects using appropriate CAM software and application systems such as 3D printing.

In Computer Aided Design and Development, students are introduced to the use of computer software in design. Introductory digital 2-dimensional design exercises will be conducted. Basic knowledge and use of relevant software relevant in 2-D design and modelling will be the focus at this level. Students will be encouraged to explore both conservative and non-conservative concept to initiate projects in respective areas of specialisation in Industrial Design. It will explore study on 3-Dimensional digital modelling skills and 3D animation techniques, introductory learning about 3-D design modelling and animation with exposure to current trends.
