This broad, cross-disciplinary studio course will introduce students to a variety of animation techniques. Students learn the basics of animation through exploration of various tools and software while examining both historical and contemporary animated works. May be repeated to a maximum of nine credit hours when identified under a different subtitle.

This course applies and integrates the principles and tools of epidemiology to the study of cancer. The course includes discussions of the burden of various kinds of cancer across the United States and the world by age, gender, and race/ethnicity, the underlying biology behind the development of cancer in humans, cancer surveillance, and the epidemiology of various types of cancer by cancer site such as breast, lung, and colorectal cancers.

This course will introduce students to the basics of computer and software security. It will expose students to topics such as cryptography, secure hash functions, access control models, audit of computer systems, attacks on computer systems and countermeasures, elements of computer forensics, and elements of database and network security.

This course introduces students to the state of the art of network security problems and solutions. Topics include security issues in computer networks, the Public Key Infrastructure ecosystem, key exchange protocols, and security mechanisms and protocols at the application, transport, network and data link layers.

Further exploration of digital and hand media utilized as a tool for design communication and ideation. Continued application of visual and graphic representation of design language, plus continued emphasis on verbal communication techniques. Further exploration of 2D and 3D drafting and modeling software, and emphasis on ideation through two- and three-dimensional drawings and models.

Students explore hand and digital approaches to drafting; two- dimensional and three-dimensional images and models; as well as image processing and publishing. Students visualize graphic representation of drawings and models as they relate to the interior design profession.

Students deploy hand and digital approaches and fundamentals of production through building information modeling software, as applied in the interior design profession. Students explore integrated techniques of image processing and desktop publishing.

Students study construction and building systems with emphasis on structural systems and methods and non-structural systems including ceilings, flooring and interior walls. Students analyze and interpret codes, along with an introduction to basic elements related to base building and interior construction documents.

Students explore career pathways in the interior design profession and issues regarding professional practice. Students interact with professionals in practice to understand career choices. Students examine legal and ethical concerns about the built environment and professional practice.

Students explore the relationship between the built environment and people, with special emphasis on understanding how varying social and cultural norms are relevant to design decision-making. Topics include human factor issues that relate to the design of interior spaces. This course partially satisfies the University's Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR).
