Summary
This module continues to explore the field of Industrial design. Topics such as branding and marketing are introduced; and an understanding of how these practices can impact how/what we design into products will be gained. We then build on the knowledge of ecology and sustainability established in the first module, to understand the impact that our designs have, and how we can minimise our environmental impact. It also Introduces students to presentation techniques for Industrial Designers, in addition to a suite of virtual modelling tools.
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed in all failed assessment components. The re-assessment mark for the module will be a combination of the marks from components passed first time and the components which have been re-assessed.
Target Students
Students undertaking Product Design and Manufacture.
