This module introduces you to simple manufacturing processes and material specification and how to apply them to a product design brief. Visualisation and presentation skills will be applied in an introduction to digital outputs and fabrication processes as a tool for developing form and presentation techniques. Workshop skills, rapid prototyping techniques and process will be applied to the development of form, function and ergonomics. You will explore design problem solving strategies and methodologies to aid research and concept development.

LO1: Use physical and virtual modelling to address creative and technical problem solving
LO2: Select and apply appropriate physical and virtual modelling techniques to develop, detail and realise form
LO3: develop function and ergonomics through physical and virtual modelling
LO4: apply user feedback through physical modelling and prototyping
LO5: Apply drawing and virtual modelling in persuasive visual presentation.
