With the advent of the computer, the world of design has been revolutionized. Many artists and designers have started to look to the computer to aid in their design processes. By using the computer, designers have been able to achieve a higher level of precision and design resolution. This project examines the processes involved in teaching the computer as a design tool to art students and faculty. By drawing on five years of computer application experience, the author has created and executed a plan for helping designers learn the advantages of incorporating the computer as a part of their design processes. This project deals with the difficulties of teaching designers the visualization and computer skills necessary for using the computer as a design tool. The project focuses upon two groups of students. The first group was comprised of advanced metals students learning MacintoshApplications. The second group was comprised of advance metals students working on Microstation, a CAD software application. / Department of Art
