Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- perform basic 3D-modelling and visualisation workflows using CAD software and is able to use the terminology of 3D-modelling
- apply previously learned CAD skills in more advanced CAD assignments and 3D-modelling
- compare different modelling techniques and formats.

Implementation and methods of teaching

In this course we will learn about parametric 3D modelling in Solidworks. The course includes exercises starting with the basic functionality of Solidworks. Students will learn how to create 3D models and visualise them.
The teaching methods of the course include learning situations where we learn step by step with the guidance of the teacher, student learning with the help of video material and small group projects where we learn from peers.

- Student not engaged or actively participating in class

Assessment criteria: level 1 (assessment scale 1–5)

The student understands the need for 3D-modeling skills in the work of a designer. The student has completed some tasks with implementation. Lack of assignments or limited familiarity.

Assessment criteria: level 3 (assessment scale 1–5)

- Student can use multiple features in the software and create relevant and good 3D-models. Student understands the need, role and principle of 3D-modeling in designer's work. Student can create simple 3D-objects in good quality. Student is active and finds creative ways to create solutions in 3D-modeling.

Assessment criteria: level 5 (assessment scale 1–5)

- Student's work in 3D-software is fluent. Student is proactive and highly motivated and cares about her own learning. All assignments are well finished. Can produce relevant and high quality 3D-models and shows ability to use a wide range of different features.

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- perform basic 3D-modelling and visualisation workflows using CAD software and is able to use the terminology of 3D-modelling
- apply previously learned CAD skills in more advanced CAD assignments and 3D-modelling
- compare different modelling techniques and formats.

Implementation and methods of teaching

The student gains an understanding and skills of the packaging design concepting, structural design and working process through utilizing CAD tools such as Esko ArtiosCAD, Esko Studio Toolkit, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Esko Ai plugins.

The course is a one-week intensive training during week 43 from morning until the evening with a lot of exercises. The last part of the exercises will be done independently by the student after the intensive course. A limited time will be given to finalize those independent tasks.

Timing and attendance

Full attendance during the intensive week 43 is required. The course happens in classroom A260, Lahti Campus.

Learning material and recommended literature

All materials are provided and shared during the course. The study material is tailor-made for this course. The student is not allowed to share the study materials and exercises outside the course (Copyright).

Alternative completion methods

Independent study possibility in the evenings needs to be agreed upon beforehand/separately.

All exercises must be saved to Moodle course platform, no other way is accepted.

Learning environment

Computer (PC) classroom A260, Lahti Campus.

Student time use and work load

Learning new software is very personal. For some, it happens faster and some others slowlier. The course goes at a slow speed and with no stress. If you are fast, you are expected actively help and assist your peers. This is an intensive learning experience together!

You can also make more challenging designs with some of the exercises. You may also design real projects in some of the exercises.

Assessment criteria

Each task and exercise is evaluated (0-5) independently according to the assignment. Every task needs to be passed to get credits from the course.
