CET Designer history: KCID450 – Senior Studio A – Spring 2013 Course description: Problem solving for mid-size office project, preparation for Interior Design Qualification problem solving, application of historical building information in project solutions. Goals of the Course: The student will be able to: • Manage and produce inter and/or intra-disciplinary team solution for mid-size office project. • Demonstrate professional communication skills • Apply design process to interior spaces, incorporating details for the complete volume of space. • Present to industry professionals. CET Designer history: KCID450 – Senior Studio A – Spring 2013 CET Designer opportunity: KCID450 – Senior Studio A – Fall 2013 CET Designer strategy: • Series of exercises that expose students to the technology and have them explore the capabilities and the variety of furniture options. • CET Designer Exercise #1 – step by step instructions to build a few spaces using the Walls extension and furniture space planning together. Each student then adds to that assignment independently and submits. * Tip – use of a LMS will allow students to submit electronically without file size issues. Ethernet connections are encouraged for large file sizes. CET Designer exercise #1: CET Designer exercise #2: • Students develop typical open office workstation settings. This has them exploring the furniture application options and further experiencing the technology. CET Designer exercise #3: • Using what was developed in exercise #2, students add finishes and create a simple rendering using the photo lab. CET Designer exercise #4: • Students then create a report and export bill of material for the settings developed in exercise #2. CET Designer final projects: CET Designer final projects: CET Designer support: • first line of support is instructor - be brave • second string is dealer support – build those relationships, and don’t abuse • back up is Configura chat support – typically this is the technology system settings, or the mysteries that can happen… CET Designer learn from my mistakes: • Expectations for installation… • The first semester, I had the students build ALL of the architecture in CET Designer. • Originally I had 3 exercises and combined the rendering with the report. CET Designer is better in smaller bits. CET Designer learn from my mistakes: • Time management and differentiating learning styles – use screen capture and update each semester!
