Zen and the Art of Cycle Design

Aims

 

To enable students to understand:

  • that there are a range of approaches to design activities - not just one 'linear design process'
  • that image and lifestyle are reflected in most consumer products
  • how designers match materials and components with tools, equipment and processes to produce quality products
  • the range of industrial applications and processes when working with familiar materials
  • structural and mechanical systems
