GRAD ID STUDIO I |
| The execution of two assigned design projects provides the framework for a thorough examination of the design process. This structured and intensive studio will focus on the relationship between the implementation of sound design methodologies and successful problem solving in the design process. This first studio experience is intended to provide the methodological infrastructure for the remainder of the M.I.D. thesis experience. Restricted to ID Majors, Graduate required |
| Semester: Spring |

TBD |
GRADUATE ID STUDIO II |
| The second studio experience in the MID program focuses on interpretation as a crucial component of problem solving in the design process. Nine thematic briefs are provided, from which students select two. Subsequent design projects represent the students' considered position on the relevance of the selected theme to contemporary design practice. The range of themes explored in the class broadens the critical discourse on issues pertinent to the field of Industrial Design and provides a segue way to the students' declaration of thesis topics. Restricted to ID Majors, Graduate requirement |

GRADUATE ID SEMINAR I |
| This seminar will examine issues arising from the study of design history. It is the first in a two part seminar experience designed to establish a social and professional framework for the thesis project. With the guidance and support of the instructor, graduate students will survey the landscape of significant movements in design history, and discuss their relevance to current design challenges. The seminar serves the dual role of developing broader perspectives on the relevance of graduate study to a larger social context, and strengthening the frame of reference foe the discourse in group critiques. Restricted to and Requirement for MID majors |
