22-2720 Form Analysis for Product Design
Course focuses in depth on issues of form-appropriateness for user-centered design and manufacturing. Relying on case studies of a broad array of products, instruction exposes students to issues of ergonomics, kinesthetics, material selection, design for disassembly (DFD), and other issues that determine the interrelation of form, function, and production. Course is structured as a seminar with a smaller studio component where the principles discussed may be applied in shorter practical design projects.

22-2725 Interaction Design
Course introduces students to the complex issues involved in interaction design. Through a series of projects and readings, students explore a variety of design issues involving the navigation of complex data as well as the physical interaction of devices intended to assist in that navigation. Students create prototypes of their own hand-held digital devices to explore the ergonomic as well as the physical mapping of issues involved. Students learn a variety of quick prototyping processes for physical models in addition to using software such as Macromedia Director and Flash to virtually prototype the interface. Course is intended to look at the interconnection between the physicality and the virtuality of digital devices.

22-2735 Technical Illustration
Course builds on Product Design: Drawing I by introducing students to vector-and raster-based approaches to rendering concepts. In the product development cycle, sketching comes first, followed by physical form models or rendered concepts to add a level of realism and greater comprehension of an idea. This process formerly done with markers and other media is now largely accomplished digitally. The student is introduced to a number of digital strategies to take a sketched concept and develop it into a fully realized rendered image using vector-and raster-based software. Students learn the fundamentals about lighting as they pertain to a full array of product surfaces ranging from wood and metal to plastic, ceramic, and rubber. This is a technical studio with an emphasis on learning the necessary skills to create professional quality product renderings. Software includes Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
