senior design studio

Students will enroll in this version of the course to meet the require­ments of the Sustainable Design Specialization. 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 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. As part of the Sustainable Design Specialization, coursework must be completed using the sustainable knowledge and strategies obtained to date. 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.
