A first year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial
Design)
This subject consists of:
Design and Manufacturing 1B
Engineering Graphics
Workshop Techniques 1B
Design and Manufacturing 1 B
0 bjedives
An introduction to the structure, properties, and processing
of engineering materials.
Content
This subject introduces students to the classification,
structure and properties of wood and wood products, wood
technology, and machining and fabrication techniques.
Areas of interest will inlcude testing and inspection
techniques used to determine the properties of timber and
wood products and designing for manufacture in wood and
wood products.
Engineering Graphics 1
0 b jedives
To give students a practical background in the skills and
materials required to produce engineering drawings in
accordance with ASIIOO.
Content
This subject deals with the formal technical skills of
engineering drawing.
This subiect will cover requirements for engineering -
drawings, orthographic projection and auxiliary projections,
sectioning and dimensioning, two dimensional geometry,
details of machine elements, screws and fasteners, etc.
Workshop Techniques 1 B
Objectives
This subject will develop skills and knowledge to enable the
appropriate use of modelmaking materials, techniques and
finishes.
Content
This subject will introduce a wider range of materials and
techniques through demonstration and use of the workshop
machinery. The use of a variety of materials such as plastic,
timber, moulding materials, sheetmetal, steel and aluminium
will provide an opportunity to produce models and
prototypes representing product design projects.

10 credit points 3 hours per week Prahran Prerequisites:
ID103 Drawing Assessment: continuous
A first year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial
Design)
0 bjedives
To help establish the 'process of design' as second nature
through freehand sketching.
Content
To encourage free ranging design, investigative drawing and
form study exercises with the accent on enjoyable selfexpression.
ID204 Computer Studies 1 B
7.5 credit points 3 hours per week Prahran
Prerequisites: ID104 Computer Studies 1A Assessment:
continuous
A first year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial
Design)
0 bjedives
To introduce computing and the type of programs and
languages applicable to design environments.
Content
Topics covered will include desktop publishing, illustration
and photo-imaging for graphic and industrial applications.
The use of data storage, file maintenance and bureau services
will be discussed. Practical work will provide the student
with specific knowledge in areas critical to industrial design.
ID205 Design History 1 B
7.5 credit points 3 hours per week Prahran Prerequisites:
ID105 Design History IA Assessment: continuous
A first year subject in the Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design)
Content
In semester two, students will explore European
developments in design and art ranging from postimpressionism
through futurism, dada, the Bauhaus,
surrealism and American and Australian modernism. While
charting the work of individual designers and artists the
course also explores cultural themes such as gender and class,
imperialism and nationalism, east and west and considers the
influences of political and social conditions on western culture.
