None

Course Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to explore and apply the design process in a 3-dimensional (3D) way in response to a brief. This is a core unit in design fundamentals and as such underpins many other specialisation units.

Learning Outcomes

Details of Learning Activities

Your learning activities will take place in a workshop using industry standard tools and resources. You will complete exercises and industry
style projects. You will also be required to undertake independent study.

In class activities will include:
• lectures
• brain storming and group discussion
• online and library research
• market research
• independent project based work
• teacher directed group activities/projects
• demonstration and application of OHS rules
• demonstration of a range of techniques
• ‘workshopping’ of student projects
• analysis/critique of own and peer group design solutions

Out of class activities will include:
• Exhibitions

relevant software. You will also have access of the library resources at RMIT.

Overview of Assessment

Students will be tutored with a verbal and/or written evaluation of their progress, within class time.
A final assessment of Competency Achieved or Not Yet Competent will be given at the end of the course when students will submit completed work.
To be deemed competent students must satisfactorily complete all Learning Elements and related Performance Criteria.
Grading will be offered in addition to, and after, competency based assessment.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this course are graded.

Feedback throughout the course may be written, verbal or a combination of both.

To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.
The submitted projects will be assessed with written feedback as well as a quality indicator that relates to separate components of the project and the overall outcome.

Project 1
Research, realise and explore 3 Dimensional object demonstrating a refined appreciation of Balance/Symmetry.
Due week 5

Project 2
Explore design processes, research, realization and production using appropriate materials skills, techniques and applications and evaluate design solutions and presentation.
Due week 9

Project 3
Research, realise and explore 3 Dimensional object demonstrating a refined appreciation of Point/Line and Surface.
Due week 12
 

Project 4
Explore design processes, research, realization and production using appropriate materials skills, techniques and applications and evaluate design solutions and presentation.
Due week 17

Grades which apply to courses delivered in accordance with competency- based assessment, but which also use graded assessment:

Grade Description
CHD Competency with High distinction
CDI Competency with Distinction
CC Competency with Credit
CAG Competency achieved
NYC Not Yet Competent
