Course Description
This course deepens and extends your digital skills and knowledge, as well as your theoretical understanding of how digital prototyping can be applied for different situations and outcomes. You will work with a range of software to explore iterative digital prototyping and develop an array of prototypes that are wearable on the body. The digital outcomes could be made through 3D printing. In doing so, you will critically discuss and evaluate the benefits and shortcomings of the digital prototyping process, and the relationship between digital modelling and its application to various material properties.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
As this is a program option course, only Course Learning Outcomes are applicable.
Course Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO 1: Research and investigate design precedents and digital fabrication methods within a fashion and textile context.
CLO 2: Demonstrate and apply iterative design strategies for the development, communication and realisation of 3D wearable concepts.
CLO 3: Critically reflect on the process of digital prototyping for fashion and textiles.
Overview of Learning Activities
Your learning experiences in this course will be delivered in a structured online environment with including a mix of weekly live lectures, activities and tutorials.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
A list of recommended learning resources will be provided by your lecturer, including books, journal articles and web resources. You will also be expected to seek further resources relevant to the focus of your own learning.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
Overview of Assessment
You will be assessed on how well you meet the course learning outcomes and on your development against the program learning outcomes.
Assessment tasks are directly aligned with each Course Learning Outcome. They are as follows:
Assessment Task 1: Design Development Folio - (50%) CLO: 1 & 2
Assessment Task 2: Final Wearable Folio/Outcomes - (50%) CLO: 1, 2 & 3
Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.
If you have a long-term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.
