graduate design development

Students develop and present a comprehensive design project of individual interest in this course. Emphasis is on the application of research completed in the Design Research course to a commercial project that entails all aspects of skill, knowledge and creative problem solving acquired to date. The project must meet the program’s guide­lines and departmental approval. Each student presents and defends the finished project to a jury of professional designers. Upon success­ful completion of this course, students will demonstrate the ability to complete a comprehensive design project illustrating all of their skills and knowledge as pre-professionals while taking ownership of their individual vision as designers.
