Course Description:
This course will help students develop an efficient
and professional workflow for design visualization.
Using sketching on digital tablets, CAD software and
digital rapid prototyping technology, students will
tackle a series of exercises designed to hone their
skills in different visualization areas and create their
own personal style of design presentation.
After the end of Week 4, a “W” will be granted if the
student has a passing grade at that time, and an “E”
will be granted if the student has a failing grade at
that time.
3) Grading Policies:
The grade for the assignments will depend upon the
instructors’ evaluation of performance in the follow-
ing four areas.

Course Objectives:
After a successful completion of this course students
will be able to demonstrate:
1. an ability to draw digital sketches on tablet
2. the knowledge of diverse computer aided appli-
cations for design visualization
Effort
This pertains to the amount of work you hand in.
Some of the qualities we look at include eagerness
to explore new ideas and learn new skills, willing-
ness to take an active part in your own learning
through a positive attitude and behavior, desire to
exceed the minimum requirements and excel in
every aspect of the project in the functional, aes-
thetic and documentation phases.

3. the utilization of digital visual technology and Performance

methods This relates to the quality of your work. It includes
the insight seen in your research, creativity of
4. the knowledge of 3D digital rapid prototyping design solutions, depth and breadth of exploration
technology of concepts, thoroughness of developmental work,
effectiveness of presentations [both visual and
verbal], and the quality of drawings and models.

Requirement: Management
Students are encouraged to have a background This refers to your ability to manage the project. It
in design. encompasses coordination of activities, efficiency of
execution, adherence to specified deadlines, level
of preparedness for presentations, and competence
in controlling effort and resources.
Course Text:
There is no required text for this course. Attendance and Class Participation
You are expected to attend all class sessions
unless otherwise specified by the instructors. You
are expected to participate fully in all class activities
Course Policies: and discussions. Failure to do so will adversely
affect your grade.
1) Late Deliverables:
Each of the deliverables is due at the beginning of
class on the date specified. 4) Attendance Policies:
Late work will be accepted with a 10% deduction after Each unexcused absence will subtract 1.0 point
each class. from your total grade (100 points) and each late (30
min after start of class) will subtract 0.5. Leaving
early from scheduled class time will count as an
2) Withdrawals: unexcused absence.
Consistent with ASU policies, a “W” will be recorded The attendance policy allows four unexcused
if the student withdraws from class prior to Week 4.

absences and requires the instructor to file an irregular Note:

attendance report.
If a student misses class due to a family emergency or
medical problem, he or she must contact the instructor
prior to the class time to receive an excused absence
and to make arrangements for missed class or late
work.
Grade Categories:
Assignments (5) 100 points
Attendance
Total 100 points
All work done by students for this course may
be shared with class members, ASU faculty
and the ASU community.
Copies of all work turned in by students will
be collected and kept by the instructors to
be used to demonstrate appropriate and/or
exceptional course work to future students.
* This syllabus is subject to change depending upon
the individual requirements of the class, as deemed
fit by the instructor.

Grades Criteria
A (90-100%) Exceeds requirements whit outstanding
end results; Excellent initiative

B (80-89%) Meets all project requirements.

Thorough and professional; Above
average

C (70-79%) All project requirements met.

Some understanding

D (60-69%) All project requirements not met.

Incomplete (including late submission);
Badly constructed

E (<60%) Inadequate understanding;

Unacceptable

Semester grades will be determined by:

A+ 4.33 (96.7-100)
A Excellent 4.00 (93.4-96.6)
A- 3.67 (90-93.3)
B+ 3.33 (86.7-89.9)
B Good 3.00 (83.4-86.6)
B- 2.67 (80-83.3)
C+ 2.33 (76.7-79.9)
C Average 2.00 (70-76.6)
D 1.00 (60-69.9)
E Failure 0.00 (< 60)

* Although the plus/minus scale includes a grade of A+

with a value of 4.33, the cumulative GPA is capped at
4.00.

* Arizona State University implemented a plus/minus

grading scale. (http://students.asu.edu/grades-grading-
