The courses
ART/NMA 3041, Special Topics in Art: Three Dimensional Digital Design
This course examines the creation of three-‐dimensional forms (including construction, rendering, and output) using digital tools. Investigation of the fundamental principles of three-‐dimensional design (line-‐plane-‐volume-‐mass-‐space-‐light). Applied study of computer-‐aided design (CAD) programs and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies for three-‐dimensional visualization. Readings, case studies, and hands-‐on projects emphasize the development of critical skills and their application to design issues of the present. Potential applications for packaging, product, and industrial design as well as architecture, art, and new media. ART/NMA3041 syllabus
MGT 4993, Special Topics in Management: Business Meets 3D Digital Design and Fabrication
This course will explore how the choices and processes one makes when designing and creating three-dimensional objects are also a series of business choices, processes and decisions. Readings, case studies, and hands-on projects emphasize the development of critical skills and their application to business and design issues of the present. Students will learn some of the fundamental principles of three-dimensional design (line-plane-volume-mass-space-light) and have access to using digital tools in the design and creation process such as computer-aided design (CAD) programs and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies for three-dimensional visualization. The course focuses on the business context of entrepreneurial and startup ventures. MGT 4993 Syllabus
