| In Thesis I & II students embark on a process to initiate, develop and conclude a fully realized and independently executed design project, utilizing and integrating all competencies and skills acquired over the previous years in the Industrial Design program. In Thesis I and II students are directed to work within six general areas which are: Home, Work, Play, Health, Mobility, Travel and Communication. Students whose thesis subjects are in the same directed areas will be working in groups facilitating peer support and mutual feedback and development as part of the thesis course. It is intended that there will be appropriate industry or business input for each of the defined areas of thesis engagement. In Thesis I students embark upon a complete design process through defined stages, continued and completed in Thesis II. In Stage 1 (Planning) students work on developing a proposal which defines their intended design process and methodologies for the semester. This is followed by Stage 2 (Research) in which students investigate human need, possible business requirements of their respective or proposed clients, relevant technologies and spatial aspects of their proposal ending in a clearly articulated and comprehensive design brief. The identified requirements listed in the student's design brief provide the foundation for stage 3 (Concept Direction Definition and Presentation) where different concept directions are explored, presented and evaluated. |
