Freeman School majors may elect to do an accounting internship that will appear as a one-credit, 400-level course on their transcripts; however, the credit does not apply towards the 122 minimum hours required for a BSM degree. The purpose of the internship must be to apply (within an ongoing business organization) the intellectual capital obtained from first- through third-year courses of the BSM program. Before registering for this course, the student must present a proposal describing how the proposed internship will meet the stated objectives and how the student will demonstrate that the objectives have been met. This proposal must be approved by the instructor before course registration. The student is responsible for locating the firm and arranging an internship position. This course is normally offered only during the summer and fulfills the “curricular practical training†option for students with F-1 visa status.

Pre-requisite: ACCN 410, ACCN 411, LGST 410 and TAXN 410, or instructor approval. During the period January 1 – April 15, students participate in a “busy season†internship with a “Big 4†accounting firm or large local firm approved by the director of the BSM/MACCT joint-degree program. The workload is 40 hours to 80 hours per week under the direct supervision of one or more certified public accountants. It involves the same difficulty of work and training that any new full-time, new-hire receives when entering the firm. In addition, this course has two writing components. In the first, the student submits a five- to ten-page research paper on an auditing or tax-related topic (pre-approved by the program director) involving an actual problem encountered by the student during the internship. In the second writing component, the student keeps a journal of the student’s activities (without breaking the client/firm confidentiality requirements). This journal is to be a daily (preferable) or weekly (mandatory) task. It is to contain a description of activities accomplished, questions raised, and conclusions reached about what was learned for the day. This journal is submitted to the director of the program at the Freeman School, who will review and discuss it with the student. It must include time sheets (client info may be blocked out) and must be mailed to the director at least twice a month. In addition, students in this course will present at a technical meeting of the Beta Nu chapter of Beta Alpha Psi at the Freeman School concerning their experiences.

Pre-requisite: Minimum cumulative GPA 3.00, junior standing or above. Freeman School majors may elect to do an accounting service-learning internship. The credit does not apply towards accounting major requirements for a BSM degree; it may be used as elective credit. Interested students should consult with the Center for Public Service and the Office of Undergraduate Education at the Freeman School. Offered: Not offered during 2008 – 2009 academic year

Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 120. An introductory course to digital visualization techniques with a focus on graphic representation, 2D drawing, digital photography, and graphic design for portfolio development. Students will be introduced to graphic software such as Photoshop, illustrator, and InDesign in order to develop technical and visual proficiencies to be integrated into the architectural design process. Satisfies: [R]

3.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 210. An introductory course to 3D digital media concepts and techniques with a focus on the fundamental aspects of the Computer Aided Design process. Framed by a general introduction to digital media theory, students will gain fluency in a variety of software applications for the purpose of expanding the architectural design process. Specific emphasis is placed on the role of the computer as a tool for analysis, spatial investigation, and representation. Basic 3D modeling software such as AutoCad, Form.z and Rhino, will constitute the majority of course content. Satisfies: [R]

3.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 220. Moving beyond the notion of digital media as mere representation, this course seeks to engage 3D digital tools as generative processes in design. The course will be structured around three main components: technical skills, theoretical context, and design methodology. Through processes such as hybridization and emergence, students will develop design techniques while integrating practical notions of structure, skin, and perforation. Students will expand their knowledge of spatial modeling in digital media, and learn to render, animate, and create technical drawings through Form.z, Rhino and Maya. The course will also focus on contemporary architectural practices and their use of digital tools and techniques through the investigation of critical case studies. Satisfies: [R]

3.00 Credits
Staff. Co-requisite: Integrated with DSGN 320. An introductory course to digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printing, CNC milling and laser cutting. Students will learn about the relationship between detail design and new technologies for modeling, prototype development and fabrication. Satisfies: [R]
-
3.00 Credits
Staff. An advanced digital media course focusing on parametric geometry modeling and advanced animation techniques. The course will introduce both 2D and 3D form generation methodology as a way of exploring a co-authored design process. Contemporary digital theory will frame various investigations into issues of complexity, iteration, patterning and surface modulation. Satisfies: [E]

3.00 Credits
J. Morais. Pre-requisite: 310 Digital Media I or 320 Digital Media II or equivalent computer drawing and modeling skills: 2D: ACAD; 3D: RHINO, Maya or Form Z. The class will explore various methods for organizing 3D model information and extracting and producing clear 2D data/drawings from the 3D database. The course will involve constructing and presenting geometrically complex 3 dimensional models and the transformation of these models into construction and fabrication drawings. Students will be expected to already have ACAD and 3d modeling skills. The class will be a combination of lab work, class lectures, and presentations. Satisfies: [R]

3.00 Credits
A. Eloueini. This course is devoted to the design and fabrication of a structure/space using digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printing, CNC milling and laser cutting. The course will focus on the design, development of construction of a full scale prototype using digital techniques for analysis and fabrication, focusing on the transition between computer modeling and its materialization. Satisfies: [E]
