研究生專業(yè)方向：
While many students focus primarily within a single topic area, we encourage applications from students whose interests combine two or more of the topic areas below.
?
Culture and Material Studies （文化及材料研究）examines the relationships between culture, objects and individuals. The goal is to develop expertise and insights into the study of objects and environments in context, rather than as isolated entities.
?
Design Communication （設(shè)計傳達）explores how visual and sensory tools are used in the design, analysis and conceptualization of designed objects and environments. Students study the implications as well as the applications of a variety of approaches that include contemporary and traditional methods for image generation and manipulation, modeling and simulation, animation, and virtual reality. Knowledge and skills gained in this subject area equip students to utilize design visualization as a way to improve creativity, productivity and communication.
?
Design Pedagogy （設(shè)計教育）focuses on how design studies and research as well as related topics such as creativity, conceptualization, and making are taught as an academic discipline.? Students become familiar with teaching theories and methods, and test their ideas through classroom experience.
?
Historical Aspects of Designed Objects and Environments 設(shè)計對象和環(huán)境歷史因素
?includes analysis of social, cultural, aesthetic, anthropological, geographical and temporal contexts. Knowledge gained may result in understanding of the past, or insights into contemporary design. Students may focus on particular designers and makers, design from ?a particular geographical area or time period, design of textiles, design of environments or analysis of meaning and value.
?
Interior EnvironmentsInterior Environments addresses diverse aspects of design inquiry, focusing on design as a complex inter-relationship between people and the built environment.? There are three primary areas of emphasis: (1) Studio based design inquiry emphasizes discovering new insights, processes and relationships through the creative process? (2) Research based design inquiry emphasizes discovering new insights and relationships through the application of theories and methods drawn from the social sciences and humanities and then translated to the design practice.? (3) Integrated design inquiry emphasizes a melding of both studio based and research based design inquiry; this incorporates a framework of evidence (or research) based design, combining studio based inquiry with research strategies such as action research or post occupancy evaluation.
?
Textiles in InteriorsTextiles within Interiors: For those who want to combine the study of interiors with the study of textiles.? Includes designing interior environments rich in textiles as well as in depth study of textile design and production.
?
Textile Scienceprovides in-depth understanding of the physical and chemical properties of natural and synthetic fibers and their interaction with dyes, finishes and plasma. Students become familiar with a variety of analytical tools such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Attenuated Total Reflectance, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).
?
Textile/Clothing Forms, Art & Design focuses on the conceptual, technical and aesthetic possibilities of textiles. Students formulate a plan of study that may incorporate courses in textile history, textile science or courses in the Art Department while building on their previous academic and professional expertise.
