What does the course entail?

Dimensional design introduces students to the exciting world of design, where problem solving meets creativity. Students will explore the design process, from initial concepts to a final prototype, learning how to transform ideas into real life products.
Through hands-on projects, students will develop skills in sketching, computer aided design, 3D modeling, and prototyping using various materials, techniques and technologies. Emphasis will be placed on problem-solving, communication and creativity.
With an exposure to Design as an industry, different design disciplines (fashion, automotive, product, graphics etc), and design’s place in today's society, students will develop a competitive edge for current and future employment markets. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of innovative designs and a solid understanding of the principles and practices of design.
"Dimensional Design is an exceptional subject as it helps Kolbe students share their creativity with their classmates and peers. I have learnt the design process as well as developing skills with Sketch-up, 3D Printers and the laster cutter.
