The objective of this fifteen week course is to build knowledge and skill in three-dimensional design. By the end, students should be able to explore, create, and communicate a design direction for simple products and environments by taking into account design principles, human factors, technology, and business issues.

We work on prototyping: finding more ways to build and advancing our sketching and drawing. We learn conventions and gain skills in communication and storytelling in order to make ideas stick. We practice design decision-making: key to knowing what to build or draw at each stage of the design process. We learn critique: getting better at analysis and providing positive and productive advice.
