Lecturer: Aaron Adjacodjoe

This course will introduce students to the design process which involves organising the creative and analytical processes used to satisfy a need or solve a problem. Students will be made aware of the fact that, sketches, drawings, computer models and presentation graphics are all linked to the design and production processes. Idea development techniques such as Synectics and other visual thinking methods developed to stimulate creativity in design will be introduced to students.

Technical Instructor: Frederick Tattah

This course will seek to introduce students to a range of tools and equipment used in the making of products. 

Lecturer: Eric Amevor

This course seeks to introduce students to the principles of orthographic projection as a parallel projection technique in which the plane of projection is positioned between the observer and the object and is perpendicular to the parallel lines of sight. Students will be shown how the orthographic projection technique can produce either pictorial drawings that show all three dimensions of an object in one view or Multiview outputs that show only two dimensions of an object in a single view.

Lecturer: William Daitey

In this course, students develop effective drawing techniques as a specialised form of visual communication. Quality and expressiveness of line are developed. Life drawing, still life drawing and sketching techniques are utilised, to assist students in creating images of their ideas about two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional forms and spaces.

Lecturer: William Daitey

This course introduces students to 3D modelling as an innovative approach to the visualisation process and how Computer Aided Design (CAD) is revolutionising industry and promoting the integration of computers into the design process.

Semester Two

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to communicate professionally on many levels including writing, speaking, conducting meetings, giving presentations and interpersonal dialogues, and using electronic media.

Semester Two

The course is a continuation of ACDT 117 and focuses on computer, mobile computing, and multimedia design production. It further expands on the use of key applications such as spreadsheets, databases, presentation, graphics and web design software. Aside from the traditional computer-based technologies such as those related to standard office applications, and specialist applications such as CAD, aspects of digital communication (internal networks) will be introduced. Topics that deal with the way ICT is used and managed in an organisation will be covered: such as, the meaning and value of information, how information is controlled, the limitations of ICT and legal considerations.
