Introduces material properties and performance in the context of physical and digital interactive artifacts. Develops practices of material selection and use, including environmental effects, tactile properties, life cycle fabrication processes, compatibility and effects of particular forms of use. Students gain knowledge in physical properties and affordances of materials, 3D printing, digital fabrication methods, including sustainability and ethical implications. Students will work in SIAT Solidspace Lab and Surrey Library fabricommons Makerspace. Prerequisite: Completion of 48 units, including IAT 102 and IAT 106, both with a minimum grade of C-.
