5. What we’ll 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?
