The drafting module teaches the methods through which industrial designers develop an idea. Technically, systematically and formally, a draft must be correctly executed. This entails the documentation, communication and presentation of complex structures, as well as cooperation with all the disciplines connected with the product development process. It also teaches self-organization and time manage-ment.
The demands placed on drafting competence increase in complexity as the degree program progresses.
The module applies design methodology to the problem of drafting, which it defines and analyzes. It addresses the draft design of a prod-uct or system, covering all the relevant process steps from statement of the problem or task, through research and concept development, to the design and its optimization. Drafting also includes the presentation of detailed solutions and preparation of construction plans via CAD, 3D modeling and prototyping.
