WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING
Transferring skills into a workplace setting via participation, observation, and reflection, with emphasis on the relationships between academic and professional knowledge
INTRODUCING DESIGN FABRICATION
Introductory hands-on unit explores concepts, skills and methods required to prototype and fabricate physical objects from the design ideas

Design Fabrication Documentation
PROJECT BRIEF
An authentic project in which will develop and demonstrate essential skills for communicating design ideas and their fabrication. The fabrication of design ideas into tangible outcomes is an effective way of exploring ideas and communicating them to users and other stakeholders. Effective communication is also essential for designs to be accurately reproduced by manufacturers and makers. This entails detailed documentation proposing how the design could be made, what dimensions it will be, critical aesthetic and functional elements, and considerations relevant to the choice of materials and processes.
This project required to create a digital workbook documenting a plan to realise a series of design fabrication challenges. The challenges will be limited to a range of readily available pre-determined materials.

PROJECT INSIGHTS
The main purpose of The Cube is to provide a digital interactive learning platform for students to boost their learning experience. It is also a place for family to spend quality time together. Opportunity arises for new programs to be installed such as interactive guide for upcoming freshmen to the majors offered by the university and have a better understanding to the courses. However, it may cause disturbance to the students studying in the space.

Design Fabricated Outcome
PROJECT BRIEF
This is an authentic assessment in which will apply various fabrication techniques to realise a design outcome. Develop design ideas in response to a pre-defined design brief, share ideas with peer cohort for collaborative informal feedback to determine which ideas will be further developed, then work through an iterative prototyping process to develop, test and refine ideas. A final prototype is created to convey the indicative function and form of the design idea.
In addition to the final prototype, a design workbook is created to communicate the iterative design process and documents the final design prototype and instructions for how to make it.
