The sophomore-year transportation design,experience is divided into two semester-length,studios: one interior-focused, one,exterior-focused. Students taking an,interior-focused studio in the fall semester will,then take an exterior focused studio in the winter,semester, and vice versa. In both interior and,exterior studios, students will be encouraged to,pursue a user-centered design approach. Building,on,the skills learned at the freshman level,,sophomore students will be introduced to rendering,and modeling techniques integral to the,transportation design process. Course content may,be reinforced through field trips to local design,studios and factories.

Prerequisites: DTR 221, DTR 231

This course explores the areas of human factors,and ergonomics as applied to transportation,,product and industrial design. The importance of,user-centered design as a basis for a successful,design solution is stressed. Areas covered include,the research and proper utilization of human,dimensional data, cognitive functions,,environmental considerations, and the human,machine interface.

Prerequisites:

In this class, students will build on the digital,visualization techniques learned in Visual,Communication III. A series of initial,assignments will focus on using lighting,,reflections and color to define the forms with,digital tools. The second series of assignments,will involve rendering increasingly more complex,forms. The final half of the semester will be,spent completing renderings to support the,student’s studio class.
