IDIA 427 Capstone Research & Development

This course is the capstone project for senior students. Students must present a proposed interior design project to the Interior Design Program Chair and Dean of Academics for approval, which determines that the project meets the level of interior design development appropriate for a capstone project. The capstone project should encompass the full breadth of skills studied during the academic years at AIU. The project should be based on the student's area of specialty interest. In this course the students do their due diligence, research, and programming phases of design, along with exploring alternative design solutions under the guidance of their instructing mentor. Students will follow the Capstone Project Guidelines for completion and documentation.
