relationship between parts, sequences, and finally the whole space to meet California building codes.

INTD 3780L — 3 UNITS ADVANCED COMMERCIAL DESIGN LAB

Utilizing technical drawing and presentation techniques, this course supports the design project developed in INTD 3780.

INTD 4120 — 3 UNITS INTERIOR PRODUCT DESIGN INTD 4550B — 3 UNITS FURNITURE DESIGN II

This course explores the development of design ideas and processes, from preproduction to fabrication, utilizing 3-D prototyping, and exploring manufacturing methods and materials. Conceptual designs, individual products, and product collections for interiors are examined. Further discovery includes technical requirements, trend research, product feasibility, and product marketing.

INTD 4130 — 3 UNITS SURFACE PATTERN DESIGN

INTD 4850 — 3 UNITS PORTFOLIO

This course offers instructional support on the de-velopment and completion of an extensive portfolio demonstrating the breadth and depth of a student’s work, including its attainment of industry standards.

A studio course where creative vision is challenged to capitalize on the artistic expressions and principles of textile design; expanding the elements and principles of design to produce an end surface product for home furnishings, wall coverings, and any product related to interior design and decor. Emphasis is placed on technique, innovation, and globalism, along with the development and execution of strategies that take the end product from concept to market.

KNTD

includes historic research, the analysis and specifi-cation of materials, and necessary processes from concept to fabrication.

The development of conceptual designs for mass-produced seating, case goods, and tables into physical products is continued. Students engage in material analysis for code adherence, research sourcing for manufacturing and production, and apply the necessary processes to move the product from concept to fabrication. Prerequisite: INTD 4550A

INTD 4900 — 6 UNITS SENIOR DESIGN THESIS

The thesis project is a culmination of all course work completed in the program. This comprehen-sive design assignment is of a specialty hospital-ity space, including but not limited to a retail or restaurant environment. The final presentation incorporates furnishings, fixtures, equipment, surfaces, and a product design component.

INTD 4510 — 3 UNITS SPECIAL TOPICS

KNTD 3400 — 6 UNITS

In this research-based course, students examine an industry specialty, with periodic findings presented throughout. The area(s) researched in this course apply to the Senior Thesis, strengthening the over-all learning outcome of the specialization.

INTD 4520 — 3 UNITS

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS & DETAILS

FUNDAMENTALS OF MACHINE KNITTING

Students gain competency with machine knitting including cast-on and off, basic stitches, stitch gauge, and introductory shaping. Students build a foundation of knit structure by compiling a personal swatch library of knit fabrics. Includes a three (3) hour studio.

Preparation of construction sets of working drawings for both residential and commercial applications. Students gain familiarity with conventions em-ployed by architects, contractors, and building trades, including architectural details, cabinet and millwork, and schedules.

INTD 4530 — 3 UNITS PRACTICUM

KNTD 3700 — 6 UNITS STITCH & COLOR DESIGN

This is a supervised, industry internship, directly related to an identified area of study/ specialization. Students apply and develop industry related skills, and focus on career reflection and preparation. Placement approval required by the Department Chair.

INTD 4550A — 3 UNITS FURNITURE DESIGN I

KNTD 3800 — 3 UNITS KNIT GARMENT CONSTRUCTION

This course follows the development of conceptual designs for custom residential seating, case goods, and tables into a physical product. The course

Students improve their patternmaking skills by focusing on patterns for both cut and sew as well as full-fashioned knitwear. In addition, students develop technical packet specifications and fit requirements for a variety of knit garments.

Initial costs analysis of materials in the production process are identified and estimated. Prerequisite: BDSN 3750

Continuing to build a swatch library and fabrica-tion skills, the students focus on principles and elements of design as they relate to stitch structure in knit fabrics. In this studio course, students utilize color predictive and trend research to interpret seasonal palettes for a variety of markets. They design a variety of patterns and unique stitches, thereby acquiring both an in-depth understanding of knit structure and surface design. Prerequisite: KNTD 3400
