Program Outcomes

The Program Learning outcomes are:

  • Know and apply the design process in the development of interior environments.
  • Explain and apply the principles and elements of design as well as theories of color and light.
  • Discover the variety of materials and products available for interior environments, know how they are fabricated, installed and maintained, evaluate the products for appropriate performance for a particular use, plan furniture, fixture and equipment layouts and, prepare material, furniture, fixture and equipment specifications.
  • Plan environmental systems and controls that consider adequate indoor air quality, acoustic control, thermal and lighting design.
  • Know, plan and design interior vertical circulation, structural, non-structural, and distribution building systems while evaluating the connection between furniture and all interior building systems.
  • Produce interior environments that demonstrate competency in barrier-free or universal design, understanding of International Green Construction Codes and application of International Building Codes.
  • Recognize the role of evidence-based research and know the process of effectively applying valid research outcomes to the solution of interior design problems.
