As part of the Digital Design Tools, after completing this course, students will demonstrate proficiency in SolidWorks, Keyshot animations, and Adobe Premiere video editing as tools to develop and communicate their design ideas. Students will further develop their CAD skills to create parametric design packages geared to be conducive to the manufacturing process involved in bringing design ideas to market production.The design of this course is based on the specific modeling of both, parametric solids and surfaces CAD modeling using SolidWorks as a tool. Students will be proficient in using SolidWorks to effectively develop and represent ideas to be used during the different phases of the design process, including verification. They will also demonstrate the ability to generate in SolidWorks the corresponding different file types required by these processes, such as 3D printing, rendering, and other applications.  Students will explore bridging 3D into 4D product design experiences with immersive digital and tangible objects in physical and digital spaces using SolidWoks as a tool.Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate the abilities of both softwares, Fusion 360 and Soldiworks to better serve their design ideation and processes, bridging 3D models into 4D product design experiences to create memorable user experiences.Students will demonstrate the ability to produce short animation and videos renderings to illustrate form, process, and function using Adobe Premier. The use of AI is a tool to build/improve a product concept or narrative. As their digital skills progress, students will sketch with generative design tools (AI) and language modeling.Highly recommended for Industrial Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Animation, Illustration, Graphics, IXD, Jewelry Arts, Ceramics, Film students.Basic Pre-Requisites needed
