OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES The objective of the Design Formation program is to give students a foundation in three areas of design: design knowledge, design skills, and design practice. Knowledge gives context for the designer’s practice. This includes history, contemporary trends, research, materials, and technology. In addition, students obtain a basic tool set through learning design skills in areas such as sketching, drafting, model making, computer software, and fabrication. Finally, students will become familiar with ideas of design practice that are essential to becoming a passionate and effective designer. Practice includes ideation, concept development, design development, and execution.
