Computational Design

This course will cover the fundamentals of computational design. Students will learn how to design a computational design framework to generate different types of designs such as interior design, 3D product design, and user interface design. Topics to discuss include 3D representation, 3D modeling, procedural modeling, simulation, and interaction techniques. Students will also learn how to carry out user studies and hypothesis testing to evaluate designs. The course will also include advanced topics on using optimization and artificial intelligence techniques to generate designs. Offered by Computer Science. May not be repeated for credit.
