| Course Objectives |
Students will be instructed in the principles of 3-D modeling using Rhinoceros NURBS modeling software. In a laboratory setting, students will have an opportunity to practice the strategies and methods commonly used in creating and solving 2-D and 3-D geometric problems. Information given in lectures and demonstrations will address aspects of modeling free-form curves, surfaces, and solids. Students will be introduced to a variety of 3-D model applications as they are used in illustration, engineering, design, documentation drawing, entertainment, and animation.

| Learning Outcomes |
After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: |
- Demonstrate knowledge of various methods of digital fabrication
- Demonstrate understanding of principles of digital fabrication and digital workflows
- Introduce principles of digital workflows
- Introduce principles of rapid prototyping
- Demonstrate understanding of 3D modeling concept
- Develop basic geometry including curves, solids, and surfaces
|
| Teaching Methods |
Weekly studio-based lectures (6 hours per week). The students will work with the teacher on the assigned design task. The teacher will take a part as project manager, learner-centered and interactive/participative methods will be emphasized throughout the studio. Incomplete project will not be considered for final presentation.
