Experience Prototyping (H7111)

15 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

Prototyping is a key activity in the design process, which informs both the process and design decisions. This is a hands-on module on how to make prototypes, starting with the basics of card/foam/paper and moving through different levels to 3D printing.

It enables you to gain a first-hand appreciation of active engagement with developing prototypes. This illustrates the value of prototypes in three critical design activities: understanding materials, exploring design ideas and in communicating design concepts. This module will also ensure correct methods are utilised and understood as far as health and safety is concerned.
