CAD-Design-Create 1 provides graduate coursework students with the basic skills, techniques and processes of computer-based design for 2D and 3D manufacturing. This course aims to assist students in the preparation and presentation of basic design ideas and the expertise to materialize them through computer controlled fabrication processes.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

1. Demonstrate an understanding of basic techniques and processes used in 2D and 3D computer aided design (CAD) including its application to digital fabrication
2. Show a creative exploration of the digital design environment and its application .
3. Interpret, communicate and present ideas and design solutions in basic modes relevant to the student's discipline.
4. Show basic awareness of historical and theoretical contexts relevant to the course
5. Demonstrate knowledge of OH & S requirements and procedures.

Portfolio of studio work: 70% [LO 1- 4] 

Journal/Documentation/Studio Theory presentation: 20% [LO 1 -5]

Participation 10%: [LO 1-5]

Assessment includes periodic critique and review sessions that provide ongoing feedback on work in progress.

4 hours per week lectures in the computer lab, critiques and supervised practical sessions and 1 hour per week graduate focus sessions. 4hrs of independent study is expected.
