A Study on the Innovation of Course Contents and Instruction of CAD in Interior Design Education |
| Abstract |
The objectives of this study is to create an environment which students could apply effectively through focused on the innovative methods of education and CAD course contents. There were four phases in this study. First was to gather and to analyze information from printed materials, such as curriculum and catalog from each institution. Secondly, we had collected existing previous studies in all interior design area in order to use as references. Thirdly, we have managed to suggest ideal improvement for better CAD course in the area of interior design education after the arranging and analyzing. Finally, we were able to persuade the importance of improved CAD course to the interior design education parties and to suggest the direction for the future. The facts which were able to figure out from this study were as follow;1. After the analysis of the CAD course contents of the american universities, their common contents were in order of introduce to Computer Aided Drafting and design with AutoCAD / provide fundamental knowledge of the applications for use in design / examine and how this effects 2D image and model creation / CAD as a design tool. Over all trend of CAD course contents of interior design program in american university is moving toward utilizing CAD as a design tool.2. On the other hand, common contents of our local universitys were simply introducing CAD. It means that our course centents are more methodological and theoreatical. And american universitys` program is focused on problem solving solution as a design tool.3. Our local university`s CAD course contents was just to limit the CAD course as a drafting tool. To make us more miserable, those courses were arranged with less time because of the general education courses. Therefore, those are not the ideal course contents for CAD. Because we need courses which could develop student`s problem solving ability and design in sense that CAD is a design tool. |
