METHODOLOGY:
For better grasp of the subject, the students shall do major amount of work in the CADD lab.
Final portfolio comprises of digitized design project (2D Graphics- plans, elevations,
sections etc.) and other assignments.
Basic design exercises of transformations should be digitized through Basic Digital
Modeling.
Through exercises the students will learn to bridge the gap between 2D drawing and 3D
modelling by enabling them to draw using familiar pencil and paper paradigm in a software
context.
Viva-voce/ Practical Examination:
There will be a Viva-voce/ Practical examination of 50 marks, in which the portfolio of the whole semester
will also be taken into consideration.
The Viva-voce/ Practical examination shall be conducted by two examiners: one external and one
internal.
