The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to prepare a design proposal. 2.1 Communicate to the client the results of the project analysis 2.2 Prepare preliminary budgets 2.3 Communicate the proposed design process 2.4 Prepare contracts toward the establishment of a legal agreement between the designer and a client 3. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to analyze design components by using the creative process. 3.1 Describe space using design terminology (i.e., design elements, design principles, and design theories) 4. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to prepare an appropriate design concept of three- dimensional form which meets the criteria of a given design project by using the creative process. 4.1 Generate and assess various design ideas 4.2 Apply design principles and elements

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to execute appropriate presentation techniques to communicate the design concept. 5.1 Present persuasively the design concept to secure the client's approval 5.2 Use clear, concise language to explain the design concept 5.3 Use a variety of visual presentation aids (which may include perspectives, models, etc.) to communicate the design concept 5.4 Apply two- and three- dimensional CADD presentation skills

4 5.5 Respond succinctly to impromptu questions and comments 5.6 Display openness and adaptability to comments and suggestions 6. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to prepare a design which reflects the concept by using current and relevant information. 6.1 Verify that the design conforms to current industry standards, by- laws, and applicable codes including local building codes and local fire codes to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the public 6.2 Determine an appropriate lighting system for a design solution (e.g., research and select lighting systems appropriate to that design; evaluate the performance criteria of lighting systems appropriate to that design; and consult with lighting consultants and electrical engineers) 6.3 Determine the appropriate use of materials to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements of a design project (e.g., research product information to select the appropriate materials; analyze the materials for their performance, durability, cost, applications, environmental impact, building code and standards classifications; determine surface treatment and finish appropriate to the design; integrate finishes for joint and millwork, for floors, walls, ceilings, doors, and windows; determine the appropriate hardware for the design; apply energy and resource conservation principles to a design by specifying those materials, methods, and systems which will ensure that the design is environmentally friendly) 7. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to communicate to the client the proposed design solution for approval. 7.1 Prepare a cost estimate to meet a design budget 7.2 Specify for appropriate furniture, furnishing, and equipment to fulfil functional, aesthetic, health and safety, resource conservation and cost requirements (e.g., determine appropriate furniture (system, modular, knockdown, custom) to meet its necessary function; select appropriate historical, contemporary, or custom furniture; select products for appropriate construction and finish; and select appropriate furniture to meet power, data, and communication needs) 7.3 Construct perspectives and render using tone, texture, shade, and colour 7.4 Construct precise, accurate two- and three- dimensional design drawings by applying principles of orthographic projection and paraline drawing techniques and by utilizing two- and three- dimensional CADD capabilities 8. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to

5 communicate to the client the proposed design solution for approval. 8.1 Produce a set of working drawings (using Imperial and Metric) which conforms to industry standard drafting techniques and which contains a site plan; a demolition plan; a partition plan; a finishes plan; a reflected ceiling plan; a power, data and communications plan; elevations, sections, and details of partitions; millwork and architectural fitment plans, sections, details, elevations; schedules including door, window, hardware, equipment, furniture, lighting and finishes schedules; and a furniture, fitment and equipment plan 8.2 Prepare basic construction specifications using industry standards to communicate the specific quality control information necessary to complete the design project 8.3 Estimate (using Imperial and Metric measurements) the quantities of finishing materials needed for a design project 8.4 Prepare documentation needed for the administration of the contract, including documenting drawing revisions; preparing addenda (such as change orders) to maintain the main contract; and preparing appropriate billing (i.e., time sheets, invoices, certificates of payment) 8.5 Organize all project information in a retrievable format so that anyone in a design office can easily access that information during and after the design project 9. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to collaborate as part of the management team, as the client's agent, in the implementation of a design project to ensure that the project reflects the design solution. 9.1 Ensure that drawings are accurate, complete and meet the project schedule by determining drawing formats; scheduling the sequencing and completion of the drawings; coordinating information between the designer and other consultants; coordinating information between working drawings and other documents (e.g., specifications); and adapting to changes, when necessary, in drawing formats and/or scheduling 9.2 Use the basic terminology of technical systems to communicate with electrical, mechanical and structural engineers; architects; acoustical, security, lighting, and other consultants; and building and trade contractors 9.3 Assess the final documents to ensure that the design project complies with all applicable codes and bylaws 9.4 Prepare furniture, fixture, and equipment specifications to obtain manufacturers' fixed quotes for costs 9.5 Determine the role of the designer in the bidding and tendering process for a design project,

6 including preparing tender documentation; preparing a qualified bidders' list; preparing instructions to bidders; preparing the addenda; analyzing open bids and making recommendations; reviewing lists of sub- contractors; assisting clients in the preparation of contractor/owner contracts; and reviewing shop drawings 9.6 Prepare a timetable that coordinates the activities required by all participants to complete a given design project on time 9.7 Determine the need for and the role of all participants (including users, clients, building trades, and other professionals) (e.g., determine the designer's role at project meetings; prepare a set of minutes to record information from a project meeting; behave in a professional manner to encourage individual differences; lead group discussion, when appropriate; negotiate consensus in group discussions; determine where in the design process a client's approval is needed; determine when to conduct site visits and inspections; and determine the possible legal ramifications such as legal responsibility and liability) 10. The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to evaluate completed design solutions Determine the role of the designer, as the client's agent, in the evaluation process 10.2 Prepare a deficiencies list (that is, damaged materials and/or missing products and finishes) 10.3 Prepare a post- occupancy evaluation to assess how well the project has met the client's needs Source Extracted from Provincial Vocational Outcomes 2011
