Module Description: |
The aim of the module is to embed workshop practice and process into industrial design decision; through experimentation, iteration, testing, evaluation and refinment of 3D human-factors and ergonomics, (UX/UI), artefact form and detail, and surface finish.

Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
# |
Learning Outcome Description |
LO1 |
Simulate material surface finish of artefact for evaluation in Design specification |
LO2 |
Link 3D and surface exploration and specification within historical, manufacturing, and commercial contexts. |
LO3 |
Validate design intent for decision through 3D space envelop, test-rig, form-factor model, and surface finish experimentation and iteration. |
LO4 |
Produce technical specification-sheets, and report on human-scale/component configuration, 3D model, test and experimentation process. |
