PRDE 2180 - Advanced Clay Modeling

Credit Hours: 4.00

Prerequisites: PRDE 1710

This class is intended for students who have a basic understanding of clay modeling. Students will learn Class A functions used in clay modeling. The major topics will include capturing design intent and advanced surfacing techniques. Students will develop a quarter scale model of a vehicle which will be judged by industry professionals.

Location: South Campus

Contact Hours: 6
Billable Contact Hours: 6
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will apply design modifications in clay modeling.

Objectives: Using the modification techniques in clay modeling the learner will:

  1. Add clay to a model in the given time. b. Sculpt an existing model given in the time allowed.
  2. Identify the need for modifications on a clay model in the time allowed.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will capture design intent in clay modeling.

Objectives: Using the design intent in clay modeling the learner will:

  1. Identify customer needs for the design in the time given.
  2. Build a prototype of the model in the given time allowed.
  3. Demonstrate changes to the customer in the time allowed.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will use advanced surfacing techniques in clay modeling.

Objectives: Demonstrating the surfacing techniques, the learner will:

  1. Identify the difference of a good surface to a poor surface in the given time.
  2. Build a quality surface in the time allowed.
  3. Demonstrate the techniques to build a quality surface in the time given.

Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will use finishing techniques in clay modeling.

Objectives: Using finishing techniques in clay modeling the learner will:

  1. Demonstrate the techniques used in clay modeling in the time allowed.
  2. Identify tools used to in finishing a model in the time allowed.
  3. Develop the finishing touches on a model in the time given.

Outcome 5: Upon completion of this course, students will present 1/4 scale model in clay modeling.

Objectives: Building a 1/4 scale model the learner will:

  1. Demonstrate the techniques to view the model as a complete product
  2. Identify the proper scale model
  3. Present the final scale model
