Overview
This is the capstone unit for Industrial Design. It is built upon the earlier Industrial Design units and extends the application of research to the designing products and systems. This is an independent project reinforcing leadership and project management as well as strengthening your expertise. You will focus on research done through design, application of research findings for early and developmental design stages, and will learn to integrate research and design to support novel design ideas. The unit provides you with an opportunity to learn how to manage and lead large authentic projects.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate coherent and advanced knowledge of principles and concept of Industrial Design including relevant knowledge of research and applied design methods.
- Demonstrate research through design with an advanced level of critical thinking.
- Use inter-disciplinary, ethical, legal, governance and scholarship factors in the execution of major design projects.
- Apply advanced integration of various design factors, strategies and principles to the design of innovative and viable products and systems.
- Demonstrate leadership and collaboration through planning, execution and communication of design projects at a professional level.
Content
Your project will consist of the development of your design concept of a product or system. You will work in close collaboration with your industrial Design academic advisers who will monitor your progress. External specialists may be involved as required.
Learning Approaches
The unit will consist of design studio, lectures, practicals and discussions. The focus is on problem-based learning in the design studio setting where your work will be supported by lectures, one-to-one and group activities, blended material, and expert feedback sessions. During the semester you will be required to present your work for the discussion in a group situation where you will have an opportunity to explain your design and receive feedback from your peers, staff and industry experts where feasible. Therefore, a key component is the studio where in students and staff work together is to learn about design. Your active participation in studio and a sense of personal responsibility for your development as a designer are essential for success.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Mode of feedback: formative and summative. Formative feedback is given during semester on the weekly basis via one-to-one teaching activities, small groups, and collaborative feedback. Canvas general comments to the cohort group. Summative assessment: Criteria Reference Assessment (CRA) sheets.
Assessment
Overview
The unit is assessed by applying Criteria Reference Assessment (CRA) relevant to each assessment task.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Early Stage Individual Project
Assessment: Capstone Individual Project
Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Requirements to Study
Requirements
All students and staff who access campus buildings and facilities are required to complete the Tier 1 General Health and Safety Induction. This must be completed online.
Resources
There are no set textbooks for this unit. Please refer to the unit Canvas site.
Resource Materials
Other
To enable your full participation in the virtual learning environment, for example, participating in online activities and engaging with online learning materials, you will need access to a reliable computer with an internet connection, webcam, headset and microphone, as well as a learning environment where you are able to fully participate undisturbed when required.
Risk Assessment Statement
All students and staff who access campus buildings and facilities are required to complete the Tier 1 General Health and Safety Induction. This must be completed online.
Where substantial computer-based work is required, particularly in the case of fully online students, you are recommended to take regular rest breaks when engaging in prolonged computer-based work, and ensure that your workstation is set up for optimal comfort to prevent strain or injury.
The majority of your time in this unit will entail undertaking studio activities. As such there are no extraordinary workplace health and safety issues in this setting.
You may also be required to create models in the J Block Workshop and are thus required to complete the Tier 2 induction for this facility. Students who have not completed this induction and who do not act in accordance with the requirements of the Workplace and Health and Safety Act will be asked to leave the workshop and will be unable to meet the unit requirements.
