DESIGN STUDIES 10
Design Engineering 10
Course Outline ..... Design Studies is a modular based course with each module being worth one credit. The modules to be covered will advance you towards a career in Engineering, Architecture, Design, Drafting, or entertainment special effects & computer graphics CGI. Completion of Design 10 is the most complete preparation for Design Studies 20 and 30 also offered at Notre dame. The modules we will be studying are as follows:
DES 1020 The Design Process This module will be your introduction to the design process. We will be using a number of different frameworks to solve various problems which include; math puzzles, buoyancy calculations and consumer product requirements. The evaluation for this module is based on in-class assignments worth 25% of the module mark. We will also have one main project to solve and report on which will account for 40% of the module mark. There will be a module test on the design process that is worth 35% of the module mark.
DES 1050 CAD Fundamentals This module will be your introduction to AutoCAD. This software is used extensively throughout the engineering workplace. You will learn the basic commands and techniques needed to use the program properly. Evaluation of this module is based on a series of 5, one-day test drawings, that must be completed in 60- 75 min each and a written test weighted equal to one drawing. It is crucial that you master the skills presented in this module to ensure your future success in the following module which all use AutoCAD as a design tool.
DES 1030 2-D Design Fundamentals This module will introduce you to some engineering tools used in design. Scale drawings, ratio calculations and problem solving will all be used to help us in our design of an electronic playing card. The evaluation for this module is based on a project that will include calculations, supporting documentation, design drawings and a working CAD model. The entire project accounts for 75% of the module mark. We will be advancing our CAD skills to include blocks and dimensioning for 25% of the module mark.
DES 1040 3-D Design Fundamentals This module is introduction to architectural modelling. We will be building a 1” = 1’-0” scale model of the project drawn in DES 1060. This will be a group project with 3-5 participants, depending on the complexity of the project. Evaluation is based on quality of the model (50%) as well as participation in the group (50%).
Our main software is from Autodesk.com .... titles are Inventor (3D design drafting), Autocad (2D drafting), MAYA (CGI),
Marking At Midterm your mark will be an average of completed module marks but the final will be individual marks for each module and credits granted for each mark over 50%.
Practice good computer management and File Saving . Please sit at assigned stations each day.
Report any missing or damaged equipment immediately.
Students in design engineering are encouraged to back-up their work on a second media source.
Lab Rules No food or drinks allowed in the lab.
Do not disconnect or swap computer components without the instructors permission
Do not leave the lab without permission
No outside software.
Don't squander your time with excessive personal Internet or e-mail during class time
Do not logoff your computer until end of class.
Keys to success in this course Be on time for class, be early if we are in period 1 or 3. Spend lots of NDHS time here to if you have no other NDHS needs.
Endeavour to complete all assignments during class time.
Do your best work on all module projects and hand them in within assigned dates ranges.
Study for and pass the module tests. (Each module test is like a final exam)
If you fall behind, make every effort to get the extra help required ASAP.
Please keep an open mind to design, it needs your optimism, creativity, & effort.
Do, have an enjoyable time here.
Here’s wishing us all a happy and successful semester at Notre Dame, school & life are what you put into it.
