Courses Offered
Courses number 601 and above are divided into two groups. Group A subjects have an emphasis on'the theory and methodology of design, while Group B subjects emphasize the practical application of the theory and methodology in specific problem situations.
All courses in the department are one semester courses; the lecture and laboratory hours are determined by individual instructors.
