Overview
This unit introduces the skills and knowledge to transform design ideas into manufacturable products. It provides experience and skills in creating 3D CAD models and using them to communicate design intent. The unit increases your knowledge of the commonly used materials and processes and of how their manufacturing constraints and opportunities affect the design process. The industrial designer needs to possess skills in translating these constraints and opportunities into viable product designs and to be able to communicate their design intent with sufficient detail to allow that product to be manufactured according to industry standards and capabilities. This unit introduces you to the principles of Design For Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and extends your Computer-Aided Design (CAD) skills. The skills and knowledge covered by this unit are amongst those highly sought after by employers and will be applied in all subsequent ID studio units.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of Design For Manufacture (DFM) principles.
- Demonstrate technical design visualisation skills including Computer Aided Design (CAD).
- Apply appropriate design processes.
Content
This unit will focus on the broad and coherent technical knowledge and skills required by Industrial Designers. The main focus will be on the knowledge of manufacturing materials and processes used by Industrial Designers in the process of designing products. Designers need to document and communicate this technical knowledge to others and this is mostly done in the written form of reports and verbally in presentations, in a 3D form of parametric CAD models, and often output as 3D printed models. Technical information is also communicated a 2D form of concept sketching, CAD technical drawings. This unit will build on prior knowledge and skills as well as present new knowledge in teaching sessions. Students will gain experience and skills in the application of this knowledge through the assignment exercises.
Learning Approaches
This unit takes a blended studio approach where students apply knowledge gained to real-world applications. The structure is typically a lecture followed practical studio session in which students will engage in collaborative activities with peers and teaching staff.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Feedback in this unit is provided to you in following ways:
- in-class formative exercises
- criteria sheets
- Canvas general comments to cohort group
- collaborative peer feedback.
Assessment
Overview
This unit employs both summative and formative assessment. The summative assessment is designed to measure the level of knowledge and skills gained as well as how well you are able to integrate new and prior knowledge and skills. Formative assessment will be given on a one-on-one basis in class as required.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks

Assessment: CAD Construction Assignment
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.
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
- For general security, safety and wellbeing, students should review HiQ Safety and security
- Access to KG, Z10 or GP, J Block workshops requires completion of a Workshops safety induction
- Access to studios requires completion of a KG studios induction
- Student projects that may involve medium or high risk, or off campus projects, require a formal risk assessment
Further information can be found on the unit Canvas site.
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.
