**COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES**
General Education Objectives	The Philosophy in the Interior Design Program is founded primarily upon the general education philosophy of the college as published. We commit to foster in all Mount Ida students the following abilities, attitudes and areas of knowledge: · to communicate clearly and effectively · to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills · to access information · to work independently and in a team situation · to acquire a commitment to lifelong learning · to respect and appreciate both diversity and bonds of connection within the social group · to be guided by system of values and ethical standards · to welcome challenges and to transcend and effect change · to understand distinctive characteristics of the three primary domains of knowledge the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences/mathematics.
Course Description	An intensive study in the use of Computer-Aided Design and Drafting for Interior Design. This course familiarizes the student with interior design uses of architectural CADD software, digital imaging, productivity techniques, 3D modeling, and CADD rendering techniques. This is an intermediate CADD course, assumes the student already knows the essential concepts of CADD, and goes on to more advanced concepts, office productivity, 3D rendering, and alternative CADD options. Students should try to develop details for a concurrent studio project while using the computer as the design tool.
Course Objectives	This course will enhance the students understanding of design in 3D space and principals of perspective to augment their work in other design courses. Students will become familiar with CADD systems, and the other computer based tools used by architects and interior designers (Architectural CADD), and the skills and concepts for their use. Beyond computerized drafting, this course seeks to acquaint the design student with 3D CADD modeling for design.
Student Learning Outcomes	· Using the computer as a design and technical tool · Functional Details · Analysis · Problem Solving skills · Methodology · Spatial composition · Spatial hierarchy · Basic building codes · To be introduced to various presentation methods and gaining skill in putting together a graphic presentation of a design solution
Instructional Methods	The course will be a collaboration of various sketch problems that allow the student to develop the appropriate skills and a strong foundation that is essential to being a designer.

COURSE POLICIES
Attendance Gaining the skills to become a competent professional Interior Designer is greatly enhanced by group critique and seeing other people's work, therefore it is very important that you are presentation and PREPARED * for every class so that you can take advantage of the studio setting. Any student absent for more than 2 classes will not only miss out on learning but will fail as a result. In event that an absence is unavoidable, it is up to the student to make arrangements to make up the missed work.
* Being PREPARED for class involves the following:
Bringing course notebook, and all tools and materials to class in order to be able to work during class time. Also bringing the current design project with all the work done so far on that assignment.
* NOTE Any student present in class but NOT prepared to work and/or present their work will be counted as absent.

Lateness Some times it is out of our control! BUT Class starts and finishes nothing will be repeated. It is your responsibility to gather the information that you have missed. If you are late for more than 4 classes it will count as an absence.

Participation Students should complete readings distributed throughout the term , and are encouraged to participate in class discussions. The course should function as a studio, with informal talks, class discussions, desk crits and group crits. A reading assignment will be assigned at the end of each week the following class a one page typed summery or a quiz will be issued. You will be informed when the assignment is reviewed.
CLASS NOTEBOOK
Students are expected to keep a three ring binder as a class notebook to contain course readings, handouts, assignments and their own notes taken in the course. Students are also expected to keep a sketch book to document drawings, thoughts and concepts.

Missed Assignments/
Makeup Examinations Students are encouraged to make arrangements with the professor if assignments or examinations are missed due to extenuating circumstances.

Academic Honesty All work presented to the instructor is assumed to be that of the student presenting the work. At any time the instructor feels that work is not that of the student presenting the work, the instructor reserves the right to refuse the work and will award a zero for the assignment with no opportunity to repeat the work. In addition, the incident will be reported according to the policies related
to academic dishonesty in the Mount Ida Student Handbook and the appropriate program handbook. A confirmed incident of academic dishonesty can result in expulsion of the student form the college.
