What well do

• Design and technical lectures
• Visuals, demos
• Readings visual, design, technical
• Design and implementation assignments
• All targeted at the cave, many realized
• Group crits
• Final project
• Field trips, guest lectures

6
Assignments

• Natural Force and Form
• Gradients and 2D Visualization of Multiple
  Variables
• Anatomy, Kinematics and Aerodynamics Design the
  Perfect Wing!
• 3D Visualization of Multiple Variables
• Interactivity and Selection
• Final Project

7
Some Rules and an Estimate

• Read e-mail
• Handouts on the web
• Nothing late
• Damages collaborations
• Misses the crit
• Something due almost every class
• Classes not redundant
• 15 hours per week

8
and a Caveat

• This is an experiment
• Exciting
• Fun
• No one should get hurt
• Questions?
