Course Objectives	This course aims to apply a broad understanding of industrial design practice to the thorough exploration of design problems. One or more design projects will be done where consideration of the context of a product, system or service will be combined with advanced appreciation for material and visual culture in the detailed technical execution of the design problems.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Student will be able to apply basic and advanced design methods and creativity techniques to given design problems. Student will be able to interpret information that is relevant to the given (user needs, production needs and marketing orientated) design problems. Student will be able to make effective oral and visual presentations of their design concepts and design process. Student will be able to apply advanced skills in physical and CAD modeling and manual rendering techniques in the resolution of design problems. Student will be able to work on design problems of a high degree of technical complexity to solve problems of design, utility, as well as production. Student will be able to collaborate with industrial partners to gain experience in discussing their design problems and presenting their design process and concepts. Student will be able to produce prototypes of design concepts for the purposes of testing and simulation, and for presenting to and convincing decision makers.
Course Description	This course will consist of one or more industrial design projects in association with industrial or institutional partners. Students will undertake advanced design processes, to a high degree of technical detail, that focus on specific aspects of the design problem for consumer products, services, or systems. Students will produce convincing virtual models and visual presentations of their product concepts.
