TCE Object Design (UCP)

TCE Object Design

What will I learn?

• Production skills 
• Designers and their approach to design problems 
• Exposure to a University symposium

Learning activities may include: 

• Attending a symposium with designer talks and workshops at UTAS

• Technical instruction and mentoring from a university mentor to support the design and making of your design response 
• Exhibiting work in a public exhibition

As Object Design enrolments begin partway through Term 2, all students wishing to participate must initially enrol in Design and Production (Wood or Textiles) or Computer Graphics & Design Level 3 before eventually transferring to Object Design. 

Important Note: Students may only study Object Design once over Year 11/12.
