Course Description:

IART 407 Object Interaction Design

Building on previously developed skills in design process and computer programming, this course will explore issues of interaction between the viewer and responsive objects. The course will focus on a well-integrated approach to the creation and implementation of a sensor-based device that responds to a haptic input signal.

IART 408 Object Interaction Programming

Analyzing and applying programming and construction techniques for robotics, while exploring micro-controllers, sensors and triggers.

IART 409 Object Interaction Behaviors

Study of complexity and behavior theory in relation to the development of a current prototype. Students will explore interaction models for mechanical objects and robots.

Course Objectives:

IART 407

Utilize the design process to investigate and characterize the relationship between viewer and interactive object.

Co-construct scenarios for an interactive object.

Apply historical and contemporary research on haptics to the design of the interactive object.

Model the most promising alternatives based on a set of criteria selected by the design group.

IART 408

Analyze and apply programming and construction techniques for robotics

Explore and specify electro-mechanical components such as micro-controllers, sensors and triggers

Implement proof of concept

Program and prototype system

Explore sensor-driven machine control techniques using micro-controller technologies

Design, configure and program microcontroller-based applications.

Apply principles of haptic and robotic design to a prototyped object design.

IART 409

Design, configure and program microcontroller-based applications

Apply principles of haptic and robotic design to a prototype design

Develop a presentational narrative to describe the problem; the design process including the key steps – stumbling blocks and their resolution; and the success of the solution.

Evaluate prototype presentations

Refine function, aesthetic, and user-centered design considerations

Delivery Method:

IART 407:

Presentational Cooperative (PC). In this course delivery model students meet once per week to participate in cooperative learning activities facilitated by an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. The Presentational Cooperative Model reproduces most of the cost advantages of traditional lecture course while offering students more convenient access and more effective conditions for learning. Courses using this model will build the collaborative work skills that are a primary learning goal for Students. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment may be based on individual and group assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations.

IART 408:

Studio Lab (SL). In this course delivery model students meet once per week in a laboratory environment to work on projects under the mentorship of an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. Weekly face-to-face meetings and online conferences enable students to view and critique each other’s work. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment is primarily based on project work.

IART 409:

Mixed Collaborative (MC). In this course delivery model collaborative students engage in face-to-face (F2F) class one week and asynchronous conferencing the next week. In a typical week students work through content within a web presentation, then depending on the cycle, either participate in structured face-to-face or online collaborative learning activities facilitated by learning staff. Cooperative learning activities may be designed for completion within the class session, or they may extend for a week or longer using online team conferences. Asynchronous conferencing may be employed for team conferences, section conferences and the Q&A board. Optional resources may include a textbook, web links, or CD-ROMs. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment is based on assignments, individual and group projects, and participation in online discussions.
