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 />
