COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1.  Create 3D geometry for modeling of architectural, interior design, and/or landscape design
    projects using computer software applications.
2.  Produce rendered images, screen-captured images, and animations of architectural, interior
    design, and/or  landscape design projects.

Objectives: Untitled document
During this course, students will:
1. Effectively use 3D modeling programs to support 2D and 3D design development and design
    presentations.
2. Effectively use digital tools to apply texture, color, light and shadows to models.
3. Export models and views to other programs.
4. Import image or model information from other sources to use in model construction.
5. Print or plot graphic representations of 3D models in hidden line, grayscale and color.
6. Use digital modeling skills in preparing rendered and captured images of architectural, interior
    design, and/or landscape design projects.
7. Provide guided and animated tours of digitally created environments.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.Writing
0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.Problem Solving

Modeling exercises
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.Skill Demonstrations
10 - 20%
Guided tours of models
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.Exams
