INDICATIVE CONTENT
The module will introduce you to the role of computer modelling in the transport and automotive field. You will understand the use of CAD to support the design process as a modelling and visualisation tool.
You will be introduced to the fundamental techniques of Autodesk Alias.
You will produce a high quality CAD model, high definition renders and an illustrated structured report detailing the development process of you modelling

Module Learning Strategies
This module will enable students to gain understanding, apply knowledge, analyse and evaluate problems and create solutions through a variety of activities, including lectures, blended learning, practical sessions, student centred learning activities, directed but independent student learning and small group tutorials.
All sessions will be taught in a CAD lab with independent study work being split between Studio and CAD labs/spaces.
Small group software training sessions with 1-1 tutorials.
Independent working in the studio and CAD workshops.
Experimenting with the representation of form through computer skills
