Course Description

Residential Interior Design as a Career is identified.  Green Materials for Sustainable Design is facilitated using manufacturer product resources in the Design Lab Materials Library. Instructional Units include Furniture Style and Finish Selection, Upholstery and COM Ordering, Portable Lighting, Window Types and Custom Treatments, and Floorings. The course is technical and skill oriented and stresses accurate Material Take-Offs that includes Quantity Estimation and Ordering Worksheets, Field Measuring, and Installation. The student space plans a Great Room according to the programming of the functional use of the space requested from a client and identifies a Theme and Color Scheme with the Furnishings and Materials Selections. Furniture Groupings are space planned according to the Written Program and determines the room’s Final Dimensions. Combination window types and dimensions are set in the floor plan to provide natural lighting to the Furniture Plan. Online electronic catalogs accessed from Manufacturer Web Sites using the Internet are used to download Andersen Window CAD Symbols and Furnishing Specifications and Pricing. Residential Electrical Code is applied and a Lighting Plan for Ambient, Task, and Accent lighting to the Furniture Plan is specified and ordered.

Prerequisites

Architectural Graphics and Color Theory need to have been completed. KITCHEN & LIGHTING DESIGN and CAD for Interior Designers I are courses the student needs to be enrolled in during the same Fall Semester as INTERIOR DESIGN I

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is submitting one's own work and properly acknowledging the work of others. Cheating, plagiarism, or fabrication constitutes academic dishonesty and is subject to disciplinary action.

According to Webster, to plagiarize is "to steal or pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own….to use created productions without crediting the source….to commit literary theft….to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source."

Kirkwood students are responsible for authenticating any assignment submitted to an instructor. If asked, you must be able to produce proof that the assignment you submitted is actually your own work. Therefore, we recommend that you engage in a verifiable working process on assignments. Keep copies of all drafts of your work, make photocopies of research materials, write summaries of research materials, hang onto Writing Center receipts, keep logs or journals of your work on assignments and papers, learn to save drafts or versions of assignments under individual file names on the computer, diskette, etc.

The inability to authenticate your work, should an instructor request it, is sufficient grounds for failing the assignment.

In addition to requiring a student to authenticate his/her work, Kirkwood Community College instructors may employ various other means of ascertaining authenticity such as engaging in internet searches, creating quizzes based on student work, requiring students to explain their work and/or process orally, etc.

Americans with Disabilities
Kirkwood Community College complies with the Americans with Disabilites Act. Students with disabilities who need accommodations to achieve the course objectives should file an accommodation application with the Learning Services located in ROOM 133 of LINN HALL as soon as possible.
