ID Form I
3 Credits
This course introduces the cognitive and technical skills needed to transform ideas into accurate three-dimensional representations of design intent. Students explore concept generation, materials selection, and the physicality of ideas while developing effective workflows and safe shop practices. Projects focus on prototyping and model making to understand the relationship between form, function, and user experience, as well as translating two-dimensional shapes into three-dimensional forms. By the end of the course, students will be able to create precise models that communicate design intent using professional standards. **Fee: A materials fee is required for this course, and an additional course fee applied via student account**
