Course Description
Industrial Design Drawing 1 introduces you to methods of drawing for concept development and for the communication of design ideas. With a particular emphasis on learning how to think iteratively through the act of drawing, this course aims to build a broad confidence and capability in this fundamental technique. Through manual and digital methods of drawing you will develop a capacity to: interpret and develop form; relate forms drawn to the human figure, to space and light; and to express through drawing how the form might perform.
This is a core course in the BH104P25 Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours) program.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
Program Learning Outcomes
In this course you will develop the following BH104P25 Bachelor of Industrial Design (Honours) program learning outcomes:
PLO1: Apply analytical, critical, creative, and strategic thinking to industrial design problems and research across complex, place-based, and cultural contexts.
PLO6: Initiate, plan, manage, and realise research-led design projects in an independent, relational, reflective, and ethical manner.
PLO7: Reflect on and adapt your design decisions to address issues as they emerge, with awareness of your relationship to the diverse needs, values, and mindsets of others.
If you are taking this course as a core or option course or as part of a minor, this course will complement the learning outcomes you are developing in your program.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
CLO1: Demonstrate working capacity with a variety of design drawing techniques for generating and communicating complex forms and assemblies.
CLO2: Demonstrate, through practice, an understanding of the theoretical principles that underpin drawing including: construction geometries, perspective, light and shadow, colour and composition.
CLO3: Confidently apply drawing as a key mode of thinking through design problems in order to generate communicative and accurate visualisations.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in practical learning supported by a range of face to face and/or online activities such as lectures, tutorials, group and class discussions, and activities in specialist workshops and labs. The technical knowledge and skills you are to develop through practice in this course will require you to undertake and manage your own skills development in a self-directed manner.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems.
To effectively participate in coursework, either on, or away from campus, you are advised to obtain (as a minimum) the following:
· Drawing supplies including visual diaries, pens, pencils, markers and ancillary products and consumables.
· Personal Protective Equipment including protective eyewear, ear plugs, a dust jacket, and closed toe safety shoes.
· Prototyping supplies including a 150mm steel ruler, a high-quality craft knife and ancillary products, materials, and consumables.
· Design and documentation equipment including a personal computer of an appropriate specification, course specific software, a digital camera or mobile phone.
When on campus you will have access to and will utilise the School of Design workshop facilities, specialist computer labs and software, and 2D and 3D printing facilities.
Course specific resources such as readings, reference lists, access to specialist software, video demonstrations and class notes will be provided online.
There are services and resources available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the RMIT student website.
A Library Subject Guide for the discipline this course is aligned to can be found here: https://rmit.libguides.com/design-industrial
Overview of Assessment
You will be assessed on how well you meet the course learning outcomes and on your development against the program learning outcomes.
Core Course
Please note that this course is a core course in the Bachelor of Industrial Design (Hons) program. This course is not numerically graded and will not contribute to the calculation of your Weighted Academic Mark (WAM). That means you will receive either a Pass Grade (PX) or a Fail Grade (NN) on completion.
The assessment task percentage weightings give you an indication of the volume and significance of the work required relative to the whole course experience.
For assessment tasks due for submission during the relevant semester teaching period, if you receive a Fail Grade on work submitted you will have one week to address the specific feedback and resubmit for reassessment. For assessment tasks due after the conclusion of classes this option is not available.
To successfully complete this course, you need to have passed all assessment tasks.
Courses with a PX grade structure are automatically excised from the calculation of your Grade Point Average (GPA) and are not included in the calculation of Weighted Academic Mark (WAM) for embedded Bachelor Honours programs.
This approach to grading and assessment is aimed at ensuring each course is inclusive of student diversity and prior learning and capabilities can be developed as is appropriate to your discipline and interests.
Assessment Tasks
Task 1: Appreciation, 10% CLO 1
Task 2: Sprint, :30% CLOs 2, 3
Task 3: Challenge, 30% CLOs 1, 2, 3
Task 4: Project, 30% CLOs 1, 2, 3
Feedback will be given on all assessment tasks.
If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.
