Digital Representation II

This course focuses on the representation of essential elements of the landscape (structures, landform, water, vegetation, and atmosphere) in three dimensions utilizing a variety of software packages. Students learn about 3D modeling tools that will prepare them later in the course to experiment with a variety of visualization methods. Students will test the appropriateness of visualization methods in search of a balance between realistic representations and software limitations. Lecture, 2 hours; studio, 2 hours per week. Prereq: LA 262 or consent of instructor.

Contemporary Geospatial Applications For Land Analysis

This course focuses on contemporary concepts of land analysis, model development, and ancillary functions in geospatial applications. We attempt to apply concepts from the literature in this course through geospatial technologies to real world situations through individual projects that embraces place. In this course, we will address primarily landscape scale analyses such as watersheds and hydrologic characteristics, viewsheds, least cost path analysis, and enhanced land evaluation and site assessment approaches that have specific relevance to you.

Design Implementation II

A continuation of landscape architecture design implementation: construction materials, including wood, paving, and walls, along with their applications; preparation of working drawings and materials specifications. Field trips may be required. Lecture, two hours; studio, six hours per week. Prereq: LA 271 with a minimum grade of "C".

Design Implementation III

Advanced instruction and practicum in the development of design implementation drawings. Students will produce a comprehensive set of schematic design and construction drawings that apply the principles and techniques commonly used in the landscape architecture profession. Field trips may be required. Lecture, three hours; studio, nine hours per week.

Internship In Landscape Architecture

This is a self-directed course providing academic credit for a pre- approved internship relating to the practice of landscape architecture. An internship involves working for a minimum of 320 hours (e.g. eight weeks at 40 hrs./week) in a private or public landscape architecture office or in another professional experience associated with landscape architecture. Other experiences could include conservation work, research projects, or community engagement work.

Teaching In The 21st Century

This seminar, part of the Preparing Future Faculty program, is a rotating series of 1-2 credit hour courses on various aspects of life in institutions of higher education. Participating graduate students from a range of disciplines will have the opportunity for an in-depth exploration of the research and practice surrounding a special topic in college teaching and learning. The seminars will involve both classroom activities and experience- based learning.
