Drawing on her own professional background, Jessica\u2019s teaching philosophy is to broaden students\u2019 perspectives of the industry by showing them the many roles and processes behind bringing a product to market.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"TextRun SCXW118446131 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW118446131 BCX0\">I\u2019ve worked closely with UT Austin for years and first met Jessica when she was looking for solutions to help her class print 3D models of their jewelry. I knew that Fusion 360 offers capabilities that would benefit these young, budding jewelry designers. It was a natural connection.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"TextRun SCXW96622471 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW96622471 BCX0\">I recently caught up with Jessica to discuss her unique approach to this course. She shared, \u201cThis class isn\u2019t just design; it\u2019s a product development class and draws on students\u2019 ability to work across job functions and expertise. They <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun AdvancedProofingIssueV2Themed SCXW96622471 BCX0\">have to<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW96622471 BCX0\"> be able to conduct research, manage the project, sketch their designs, use CAD in Fusion, and employ storytelling to convey their vision.\u201d<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW239393645 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW239393645 BCX0\">Introducing a new tool to the design process<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW239393645 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p> <span class=\"TextRun SCXW222853684 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222853684 BCX0\">For Jessica, it was essential that her students be able to use manufacturing design technology to build a physical model of their jewelry. Many of her students come from other departments, drawn in by the uniquely creative outlet of jewelry design. It\u2019s typical to have a geology student, dance student, business student, and design student all working together in one group.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"TextRun SCXW199337040 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW199337040 BCX0\">Additionally, most of these students had never worked with CAD software before and were now being asked to learn a completely new tool <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW199337040 BCX0\">in order to<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW199337040 BCX0\"> complete their final project.<\/span><\/span> <div id=\"attachment_7902\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7902\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7902\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/12\/fusion-gif.gif\" alt=\"Screenshot of jewelry design\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7902\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students use Fusion 360 to render 3D models of their jewelry designs.<\/p><\/div> <span class=\"TextRun SCXW177507330 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-CA\" xml:lang=\"EN-CA\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW177507330 BCX0\">While working with the students, I was surprised how quickly they picked up the terminology and workflows.
