ENVD 1012 - Technology 2: Visual Communications
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2020
Explores the basic written and graphical communication skills necessary for environmental design through typography, composition, visual hierarchy, color theory, and descriptive writing. Students continue to develop a variety of digital tools used in written and graphic communications building on the skills introduced in Technology 1.
ENVD 1102 - Design and Communication 2
Primary Instructor
-
Summer 2018
Using both lectures and drawing exercises, this class extends understandings of the representational conventions used by the design professions through its introduction to the possibilities offered by traditional techniques for the advanced practices for design visualization, representation, and communication. Recommended corequisites: ENVD 1104 and ENVD 2003.
ENVD 3152 - Introduction to Computer Graphics Applications
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Spring 2019
Explores principles and uses of computer graphics in design. Topics include creation and modification of complex two- and three-dimensional objects; orthographic and perspective views; use of color; input using mouse and digitizer; output using screen, plotter, matrix printer, and slides; automated aids for form generation and manipulation; and analysis of current and future trends of computer usage for design. May be repeated up to 12 total credit hours.
ENVD 3200 - Advanced ENVD Studio
Primary Instructor
-
Summer 2018
Design studio dealing with problems at an intermediate level of complexity: emphasis is on the interaction of form, use, and multiple values and technologies in conjunction with issues and techniques drawn from other content area courses of the curriculum. May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours. Recommended prerequisite: ENVD 2130.
ENVD 3300 - Special Topics: Intermediate Design Lab
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018 / Spring 2019 / Summer 2019
Design lab exploring new and emerging themes in environmental design. May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours.
ENVD 4100 - Advanced Design Lab 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018
Design lab exploring new and emerging themes in design. May be repeated up to 18 total credit hours.
ENVD 4352 - Special Topics: Computer Methods
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Fall 2019
Topics include animation and environmental simulation, computational methods of technical evaluation and optimization, and computational mapping and analysis. May be repeated for credit by petition.
ENVD 4420 - Senior Capstone Seminar
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2018 / Spring 2019
Advanced seminar focuses on theoretical concerns and practical issues inherent in environmental design and planning. Views concerns and issues in terms of setting, processes, and planning and design outcomes. Provides a critical synthesis of the inherently interdisciplinary nature of planning and design education.
EPOD 3100 - Studio 2: Intermediate Environmental Products of Design
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2019
Introduces students to innovative emerging technologies and techniques in digital fabrication and design through a project-based studio environment. Students will be asked to develop design solutions that could be leveraged to benefit humanity through material investigations, cradle-to-cradle methodology, and more advanced methods in design optimization.
EPOD 3101 - Ethics and Professional Responsibilities for Environmental Products of Design
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2020
This course investigates the consequences of designing new products in light of current societal and environmental problems. Students are exposed to issues related to resources, materials, fabrication methods, and product life-cycle from an aesthetic, ethical, and environmental perspective.
EPOD 4012 - EPOD Capstone Proposal Seminar
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2019
Exposes students to research and development methodologies related to Environmental Products of Design. Students conduct thorough analysis of a user base, asses environmental impact of their design idea while developing a strategy for branding and fabrication. Finally, a proposal for a design solution of an identified problem is be presented which sets the thematic groundwork for the final Capstone Studio, EPOD 4100.
