Advanced Automotive Design Language 2.2

Course No. IND 453T  Credits: 3.0

This course is a continuation of Fall Advanced Automotive Design Language. A semester-long project will run concurrently with the Transportation Design course, allowing individuals to work with faculty to systematically design a concept vehicle from basic structure/vehicle architecture, through form development and color/material selection. Students are expected to design a vehicle exterior and interior based on meaningful research. The design should have a strong theme reflecting user emotional and functional needs, brand heritage, a unique body construction based on purpose, refined surface/detail treatment and appropriate color/material choices. Class and studio time will include lectures, demos, formal reviews, verbal/visual presentations, sketching and rendering. 3 credits.
