The courses supports digital 3D modelling tools like CDRS and Softimage. The students in Industrial Design also have the opportunity to study entertainment design using these tools.
During this semester the students develop their design projects from 2D to 3D using digital models rather than clay, using various computer software, modelling, packaging studies, renderings and animations. The emphasis on digital design techniques reflects the changing nature of the automotive design process.
The school's rapid prototyping facility, allows the students to have their models milled out using the CNC mill. This offers an interesting and promising alternative to traditional model making, which is why this methodology is being strongly implemented in the school's curriculum.
In the first four semesters of the HongIk university Transportation design course fundamental skills are developed, including concept sketching and three dimensional rendering. Principles of ergonomics, aerodynamics, research into new energy sources, and computer applications to the design process are explored.
In later semesters students simulate professional activity by completing projects sponsored by Korean car makers. Students collaborate with designers from these companies, who guide and critique their works.
