IBS 608 emphasizes genomics and bioinformatics approaches that are increasingly important in broad areas of biomedical science. These tools allow us to work with large data sets, analyze the transcriptomes of single cells and whole tissues, visualize data in sophisticated ways, do rigorous experimental design, and perform proper statistical procedures for these types of data. This is a hands-on, experiential course. It includes some lecture material but the emphasis is on computer exercises allowing students to learn tools by using them.

Individualized laboratory and research experience under the supervision of a faculty member. May be repeated to a maximum of six credit hours. Two semesters required as part of IBS curriculum.

Students apply the design process and creative problem-solving to small- scale environments. Projects focus on human habitation and relationships of public versus private space. Students focus on spatial definition, and organization as they relate to human interaction with the built- environment and design elements and principles. Students investigate design decisions within the parameters of ecological, socio-economic and cultural contexts. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

Topical and chronological explorations of two-dimensional and three- dimensional forms of design as expression of human values. Students investigate principles and elements of design, scale, materials, light and color, and experience as lenses to understand the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of design. Lectures, visuals, readings, discussions, historical analysis, research and field trips. The course requires some out of class field trips with corresponding expenses.

Topical and chronological explorations of two-dimensional and three- dimensional forms of design as expression of human values. Students investigate technology, finishes, furnishings, representation, and theories to understand the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of design. Lectures, visuals, readings, discussions, historical analysis, research and field trips. The course requires some out of class fieldtrips with corresponding expenses.

Students apply the design process and creative problem-solving to a variety of studio problems of small to medium scale. Students focus on human response to the interior environment and collaborative, community- based design scenarios. Students investigate design decisions within the context of ecological, socio-economic and cultural contexts. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

Students apply the design process and creative problem-solving to a variety of hospitality and entertainment environments at varying levels of complexity. Students focus on relationships of spatial definition and organization as they relate to human interaction with the built- environment and design elements and principles. Students investigate design decisions within the context of ecological, socio-economic and cultural contexts. Students are charged a studio fee for this course.

A continuation of ID 365 with empahsis on specification and graphic detailing of interior space including architectural finish materials, furniture, fixtures, and equipment.

Students develop a complete design solution for a self-directed capstone project as defined in ID 461 Capstone Theory and Research. Students incorporate comprehensive research and programming, data analysis, iterative process drawings, two- and three-dimensional graphics, written, and oral presentations. Students are charged a fee for this course.

Independent research for the exploration of a specific problem in interior design. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
