Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts (Industrial Design)<br />
(Prahran campus)<br />
The objectives <strong>of</strong> the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts (Industrial Design) are<br />
to:<br />
develop in students an awareness <strong>of</strong> the role <strong>of</strong> the<br />
designer;<br />
develop in students a progressive philosophy to advance<br />
Australia through innovation sa that ideas are subject to<br />
creative lateral thinking;<br />
develop in students the ability to design, including the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> skills in design methodo!ogy, research,<br />
information-gathering and design synthesis;<br />
develop in students an awareness <strong>of</strong> current<br />
internationally competitive value-added processes such as<br />
simultaneous design and engineering for cost-effective<br />
product development (this will ensure that development<br />
time from concept to production will reduce produd<br />
costs);<br />
develop in students at least one specific area <strong>of</strong> design<br />
to a level that is appropriate to the needs <strong>of</strong> Australian<br />
industry;<br />
assist students to develop methods <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
practice, skills and work habits which relate to the<br />
specialist area;<br />
enable students to develop a broad understanding <strong>of</strong> the<br />
technological requirements and the information resources<br />
available for the particular specialisation;<br />
assist students to achieve competence in the various<br />
communication skills necessary to present design ideas,<br />
including rendering and presentation drawing, technical<br />
drawing and illustration and model-making;<br />
develop in each student the ability to prepare design<br />
briefs, specifications and reports and to develop oral<br />
presentation skills;<br />
introduce students to the fundamanetals <strong>of</strong> business<br />
systems (including related s<strong>of</strong>tware) <strong>of</strong> interactive<br />
computer graphics, information storage and retrieval and<br />
computer-aided drafting;<br />
develop in students an appreciation <strong>of</strong> how factors like<br />
the law, government policies, economics and party<br />
platforms influence design decisions and national<br />
prosperity and how these factors relate to industry;<br />
develop in students an appreciation <strong>of</strong> design history.<br />
with emphasis on each student's particular specialisation;<br />
prepare students to meet the pr<strong>of</strong>essional standards <strong>of</strong><br />
the Design Institute <strong>of</strong> Australia and the International<br />
Council <strong>of</strong> Societies <strong>of</strong> lndustrial Design.<br />
Course outline<br />
The Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts (Industrial Design) course structure<br />
comprises seven study groups <strong>of</strong> major and related studies<br />
that cover course work in seven areas:<br />
lndustrial Design<br />
<strong>Technology</strong><br />
Communication Studies<br />
Information Resources<br />
Workshop Techniques<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Studies<br />
History <strong>of</strong> Art (Design)<br />
These areas are subdivided into units which interrelate.<br />
Throughout the eight semesters groups <strong>of</strong> units form<br />
prerequisites for subsequent and sequential units. To qualify<br />
for the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts (Industrial Design) a student must<br />
complete a total <strong>of</strong> thirty-four units.<br />
Course! structure<br />
The academic year is divided into two semesters each <strong>of</strong><br />
fifteen weeks' duration. The thirty-four units are taken in the<br />
four-year, eight-semester course as follows:<br />
