This paper presents a course on biologically inspired design and engineering offered at Art Center College of Design. While most engineering classes are designed for engineering majors, and offered at schools with an engineering program, this course, “Nature’s Designs,” serves as a stand-alone introduction to basic engineering principals to artists and designers. Using the natural world as a reference point, particular emphasis is placed on principles of strength, structure, and form.
