DESN 131 - Industrial Sketching


PROGRAM: Design Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Summer, 2011

This course combines fundamental computer graphics concepts of design, visualization, communication and display within an industrial sketching metaphor. Exercises and projects in graphic theory, problem solving and sketching skill development provide students with activities that focus on further development within CADD, vector imaging, raster imaging and other related formats. A variety of sketching techniques are used to gather critical information and transform graphical data into effective design communication instruments. Produces samples for student portfolios.
