This beginning course is a semester long intensive,study into the development of pattern in both,ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Using forge,welding and diffusion, this course covers simple,layering processes to composites and mosaic,patterning methods. Throughout the semester each,student assembles a journal comprised of weekly,clay pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

This course is a semester long intensive study of,the development of pattern on both ferrous and,non-ferrous metals. Using forge welding and,diffusion, participants explore layering processes,of developing composites and mosaic patterns in,steel using power hammer methods. Twisting, stock,reduction, and book match patterning techniques,are presented. Advanced students research,patterned steel of an historic precedent and,develop pattern samples that reflect a technical,lineage. Throughout the semester each student,assembles a journal comprised of weekly clay,pattern experiments, and production notes.,Journals are then photocopied and compiled into,reference books of techniques and patterns.

Prerequisites:
This course reinforces earlier teachings on the,product development process and applies the,methodology to projects that emphasize the,investigation of ergonomics and manufacturing,methods. Students use the skills learned in,supporting classes to convey design solutions in,2D sketches, 3D study models, digital models,and renderings.

Prerequisites: DEN 102
Building on the 2-D drawing and 3-D translation,methods learned in DTR 125 this course introduces,students to the fundamental design process used by,transportation designers. Through this,introduction, students will develop a basic,understanding of each phase in the process:,problem identification, concept development and,model building. Research with an eye toward,inclusive design opportunities, as well as,packaging for a variety of end users with diverse,needs will be explored. Course content may be,reinforced through field trips to local design,studios and factories.

Prerequisites: DTR 125
This course covers design principles, drawing,,rendering techniques and model construction for,students concentrating on pursuing a career in,transportation design or the design of automotive,industry related products. Projects sponsored by,transportation industry companies are a regular,part of this class. There are projects covering,both the exterior and interior designs of,vehicles.

Prerequisites:
The senior interior design studio places a strong,emphasis on research influencing fresh design,decisions. Students will look for user,experience design opportunities by investigating,sustainable materials and processes, as well as,emerging cultural and technical trends. Through,advanced presentations to sponsors, students will,illustrate the user-focused nature of their,interior designs, and their readiness to join the,transportation design community. Industry,sponsors are a regular part of this course. ,Occasionally, course content may be reinforced,through field trips to professional design studio,or factories.
