  • DTR-403 VISUAL COMMUNICATION VI

    In recent years, the impact of AI on visual,culture has been rapid and significant. OEDM,design studios around the world have begun,experimenting with this technology within the,evolution of their internal industrial design,process. According to recent U.S. court rulings,,intellectual property rights can still only be,awarded to a human creator and prompts into a,machine cannot be considered as a basis for IP,ownership. Therefore, this course will focus on,exploring the newest emerging AI-based,visualization tools within the process of,designing, but not as an end in itself. The,course will be broken down into multiple AI,exploration segments covering Midjourney, Vizcom,,Depix and any other emerging animation platforms. ,During each segment, the student will produce a,final visual asset that will be included in their,AI design process document.

  • DTR-371 MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES

    This course covers the fundamentals of materials,and manufacturing processes. Mass-production,methods in metals and plastics are the focus,,including the fabrication of individual parts and,assembly of completed products. A basic,understanding of the limitations and possibilities,of both modern and emerging manufacturing methods,will be stressed, including how these methods can,be leveraged to create designs with sustainable,life cycles. Vehicle size, weight, frontal area,,ownership, maintenance and other critical factors,will be discussed as they pertain to materials and,manufacturing.

  • DTR-367 CLAY MODELING II

    Using techniques already learned in Clay Modeling,I, with additional training in methods and,techniques, students will create a 1/4 scale,automobile. They will work from images/diagrams,and will be required to create their own,orthographic drawings and templates. Students are,expected to work through the designer directive,process and learn to effectively make changes to,their model. To take this course, students must,get permission from Precollege and Continuing,Studies.
