Ring Design Project Proposal for ISCI 104 Fall 2018 Course To design an eye-catching ring that showcases creativity and individuality while reflecting the theme of this semester's ISCI 104 course, we will combine innovative style with artistic expression. This project aims to challenge students' imagination, technical skills, and understanding of visual aesthetics. Course Objectives: 1. Apply knowledge of materials science and engineering principles in designing a functional ring. 2. Develop problem-solving skills by selecting suitable design elements for the chosen theme. 3. Enhance communication skills through clear documentation and presentation of design process and final product. Key Design Elements: - Ring Type: Determine whether to create a simple band or an ornate, statement-making piece. - Material Selection: Choose from a variety of metals, alloys, or non-traditional materials based on their mechanical properties and aesthetic appeal. - Theme Integration: Incorporate elements that reflect the ISCI 104 Fall 2018 course theme into the ring design. Design Process: 1. Brainstorming Session: Students will engage in a collaborative brainstorming session to generate ideas for unique and visually appealing ring designs. 2. Design Iteration: Based on the brainstorming session, students will refine their concepts through iterative design refinement until they reach a final product that meets all requirements. 3. Prototyping Stage: The selected materials will be used to create a functional prototype of the designed ring. Documentation Requirements: - Final Ring Design: Document the chosen theme, material selection, and technical specifications of the ring in detail. - Design Process: Include sketches, photographs, or videos showcasing each stage of design refinement and prototyping. Presentation Guidelines: - Time Limit: Students will have 5 minutes to present their final ring design project, including a brief overview of the theme, materials used, and technical aspects. - Visual Aids: Encourage the use of multimedia presentations and visual aids to enhance the presentation's impact.
