ID301 Industrial Design 3, ID302 Technology 3, ID303
Professional Studies 1 Assessment: continuous
A second year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial
Design)
This subject consists of:
Process Management
Product Critiques 2
Process Management
Objectives
To develop an understanding of the designer's role in the
industrial environment and the management of design
projects.
Content
Topics to be covered include manufacturing theory with
reference to the management of the design process, design
for export, resource planning, government resources, vendor
qualification and quality management.
Project Management will also be examined as it applies to
designers and the manufacture of products within the scope
of the designer.
Guest lecturers will be used as required for specific assistance
and will discuss hypothetical and actual case studies.
Product Critiques 2
Objectives
To raise students level of inquiry and evaluation of design
and its consequences.
Content
Case studies, seminars and discussions will analyse the
effects of design on topics including:
their own and other's work;
the environment and material selection;
transition of cottage industry to mass production;
cradle to grave considerations;
the effect of technology on product aesthetics.
