Course Title : ADTECH 1-An Introduction to the Principles of Design - Art and Drafting (Visual Perception and Communication)
Subject Area Program Description for ADTECH 1 and 2:
This course introduces some basic skills used in engineering, the design professions, and the creative industries. The student is meant to develop his or her creativity, gain
knowledge of design principles through using common processes, tools and materials of technology, and to apply the design process in response to a variety of design challenges.
Through these design challenges and projects, the students will hone their analytical skills, and learn to tackle problems systematically and innovatively through the design,
construction, presentation and evaluation of various items.
In ADTECH 1 the focus is on visual perception and visual communication. In ADTECH 2 the focus is on design application and design evaluation.
Unit Area Program Description:
The first year subject is divided into two semestral offerings of Art and Drafting.
Art is meant to teach the students the elements and principles of design through freehand drawing, color harmonies and three-dimensional forms.
Drafting is meant to introduce students to the basic conventions and protocols of technical drawing as it is used by designers.
Practicing and developing these skills is expected to help the students develop their ability to observe and record their environment, to visualize, and to communicate their ideas and
designs more effectively.
General Course Objectives:
Through this course, the student is expected
1. to develop a sense of creativity and innovation through art and drafting projects
2. to develop visual and perceptual skills through freehand drawing and other art activities
3. to apply the elements and principles of design and produce expressive art works
4. to gain an insight and appreciation of the role of art and drafting in graphic and industrial designs, engineering, and architecture.
5. to develop basic skills in drafting and produce accurate drafting plates and diagrams
