The aim of the course:
To make students acquire analytic approach to design problems by utilizing computational modeling software. Computational design and fabrication tools are experienced with the applications.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : Students will learn how to design and model by computational modeling tools with graphical interface1,2,33,4
LO - 2 : Students will learn how to fabricate what they model 1,2,33,4
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome

 
Contents of the Course
The lecture focuses on teaching how to approach analytically to design phase. Within the context of the lecture computational design and fabrication processes are taught with learning by doing exercises.
