Design History 1B
Prerequisites: ID105 Design History 1A
No. of hours per week: three hours
Subject aims
In semester two, students will explore European developments
in design and art ranging from post-impressionism 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.

This subject consists of:
ID301A Design Projects 2A
ID301 B Product Illustration
1~301~ Design Projects 2A
No. of hours per week: six and a half hours
Prerequisites: ID1 01 lndustrial Design
ID201 lndustrial Design 2
ID202 Technology 2
ID205 Design History 1 B
Subject aims
To introduce industrial design development principles and
methods of practice while concentrating on the identification
of the problem and the purpose of exploring multiple design
solutions.
Subject description
Creative problem solving utilising knowledge gained in the
theoretical and practical studies will be encouraged, and an
emphasis on the understanding of the process of design will
underpin all activities. The student will begin to develop an
appreciation of three dimensional form and aesthetics by
removing many of the constraints normally existing in design
problems.
Topics include: Communication of ideas through both two
and three dimensional presentations, including basic
rendering and mockups as development aids; understaliding
of the concept of producing more than one viable solution to
problems; understanding of appropriate manufacturing
processes for various solutions; ability to define the problem;
appreciation of form and appreciation of function.

Subject aims
The introduction of technical graphics as it pertains to the
industrial designer.
Subject description
The subject provides an introduction to perspective grids, the
generation of exploded views, sectional drawings and
instruction in how these technical graphics are used to
enhance the visual presentation of design concepts.

and processing of a range of plastic and related materials.
Subject description
This subject introduces the student to the classification,
structure and properties of plastics.
The processing, fabrication, fastening and decoration of plastic
components.
Testing and inspection techniques used to determine the
properties of plastic materials.
Introduction to more advanced materials such as ceramics,
composites, and adhesives.

Prerequisites: ID201 lndustrial Design 2, ID202
Technology 2
Subject aims
To introduce basic concepts of electric and electronic circuitry
and give an appreciation of the industry and construction
methods related to product design.
Subject description
This subject will introduce basic concepts of electrical and
electronic theory and practice. Through discussion and
practical sessions, students will gain an appreciation of printed
circuit board design, construction, component layout and
product design, commercial componentry and technical
manuals.
Electric and electronic standards will be covered to outline
their effect on component selection and design considerations.
