- Abstract
The article focuses on quick projects in industrial designing. Quick projects have a two- to three-week schedule and a defined focus. They have been included into industrial design course work, and they are very effective in examining a particular design issue, or a problem-solving technique. In the quick project, the students are required to think fast, and explore design possibilities speedily. The project develops the practice of quick decision-making by students. By using a quick project, the student's group can be evaluated academically and emotionally, and any change required in the pattern of course can be indicated. A quick design project can be beneficial to both - students and instructor. Speed, student's enthusiasm and quick decision making results in fast solutions. Recently, a quick project was conducted in a senior industrial design course at Georgia Tech. It got a positive response from the students. The project was about the design of a putt-putt golf hole and the corresponding golf course. Different design teams were formed, who made different designs by trying different clubs and resultant holes. The overall design was an integration of all the designs. The project was enthusiastically completed.
