1 INTRODUCTION, DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW AND MASTERS PROGRAMS Introduction Welcome to the Interior Design Program at the University of Manitoba. We are pleased that you have decided to pursue your degree with us and sincerely hope that you find it an enjoyable and rewarding experience. This document contains information that will help to familiarize new and current students with the way that the Department and the its program operate. It also contains other practical information that we hope will assist you throughout the time you spend in the program. The document is an accompaniment to the University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar, the Faculty of Graduate Studies Regulations, and the Department of Interior Design Supplemental Regulations. Department Overview The Department of Interior Design is one of four professional master s level programs in the Faculty of Architecture. The other professional programs are Architecture, City Planning and Landscape Architecture. The Faculty also has an undergraduate Environmental Design program. The department offers both undergraduate and graduate programs, and three access points (Image 1). Image 1 Department of Interior Design Overview Access point 1 is the normal entry point for students with no prior post-secondary education. After two years of study with other students in University One and Environmental Design, students can choose the Interior

Environments Option (IEO) at the end of their second year. After two years of IEO, students graduate with a Bachelor of Environmental Design (B.Env.D.) with the Interior Environments Option designation. This is a nonprofessional, non-accredited program. Access point 2 is the Pre-Masters entry point for students who do not possess an interior design degree from a recognized institution. Students in the Pre-Masters program are normally required to complete 30 credit hours (2 terms) of coursework.if subsequent success in applying to the Masters of Interior Design program is not attained, Pre-Masters students may be allowed to complete a second year of Pre-Masters study in order to demonstrate that the necessary development of fundamental interior design knowledge and skills has been achieved. If a second year of Pre-Masters study is required, the courses to be taken will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Department Head in consultation with departmental faculty. The second year normally consists of design studios, five supporting courses and an elective. Students do not receive a degree for this year (or two) of study as it is viewed strictly as a preparation for applying to the Master of Interior Design Program. Access point 3 is the normal entry point for students who hold a post-secondary education degree in interior design (or equivalent). Masters Programs Within the masters program, there are two streams: a first-professional and a post-professional. The firstprofessional Master of Interior Design (MID) program is directed towards those interested in pursuing a career in interior design practice. The program emphasizes the creation of human-centered and context-based design solutions that respond to the needs of contemporary life. The program requires a minimum of two full calendar years of study to complete. The First-Professional program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Education Accreditation (CIDA). Graduates normally proceed to certification from the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and membership in a professional interior design association. Following the completion of required studios and course work, the Practicum Project is the final project that is required for the successful completion of the first-professional degree. The student works in consultation with an Advisory Committee to formulate and develop the design project. The student must demonstrate a high level of achievement in design, critical thinking and communication skills as well as an ability to work independently. Stages of the Practicum Project: Project Proposal: A description of the theoretical basis, method (s) of inquiry, site, client and precedents that will inform the design. Investigation: Development of the practicum gets underway on approval of the Project Proposal by the department s Graduate Program Committee (GPC).

Intermediate Review: A public presentation of highlights from the written document, the design programme and the preliminary stage drawings for review by the Advisory Committee. On successful completion of the Intermediate Review, students proceed to detailed design development. Students must submit a completed Examiner s Form (Appendix 6.6) to the Graduate Student Advisor prior to the Intermediate Review. Final Examination: A presentation of the completed Practicum Project to the Examining Committee (the former Advising Committee). Intermediate and final presentations for first-professional students must be scheduled on pre-determined dates (see Timelines) with exceptions made only to accommodate unavoidable schedule conflicts for committee members. The Post-Professional Master of Interior Design (MID) is directed to those who already hold an accredited First-Professional degree in Interior Design. The program has a research orientation and is intended to further knowledge in specific areas of the discipline. The program requires a minimum of one-and-a-half years of full time study to complete. The Thesis is a formal, written document that is required for the Post-Professional MID degree. The thesis describes original research on a chosen subject. The original work may include investigation aimed at the discovery and/or the interpretation of facts, challenge and/or possible revisions of accepted theories or laws, or ordering and synthesizing of existing findings to support a conclusion which could open up new research directions. Stages of the Thesis: Research Thesis proposal: The proposal defines the theoretical basis and research methods to be used to investigate the chosen topic. Research: Development of the Thesis gets underway on approval of the Thesis Proposal by the department s Graduate Program Committee (GPC). Intermediate Review: Oral presentation of the developing research and report for review by the Advisory Committee. Students must submit a completed Examiner s Form (Appendix 6.6) to the Graduate Student Advisor prior to Intermediate Review. On successful completion of the Intermediate review, student proceeds to final report writing. Oral Examination: A presentation of the completed Thesis to the Examining Committee (the former Advising Committee). Post-professional students are welcome to participate on the presentation dates established for firstprofessional students, but it is not a requirement. Post-professional presentations should be scheduled in consultation with committee members and the Department Head.

5 FACILITIES, RESOURCES, AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS Facilities The Faculty of Architecture is housed in two main buildings on the Fort Garry campus: the John A. Russell Architecture Building (JAR) and the Architecture 2 Building. The majority of the Interior Design studios are located on the upper level of the John A. Russell (JAR) Architecture Building. Each student is assigned a small personal work area in a studio from September to April of each year. Studio space for continuing students is also available during the summer months with approval from the Department Head. Students who have completed their coursework can be assigned a desk in the practicum/thesis student area on the upper level for up to one year following the completion of coursework. Lockers are available in the studio and in the tunnel between JAR and Architecture 2 Buildings on a first come, first served basis. Students may claim any unclaimed locker by putting a lock on it. Students may leave supplies in the storage unit provided at each work area but must provide their own lock. Cameras, laptops, and other expensive equipment should not be left unattended in studio. Students should always ensure that someone they trust is aware of their location if they work on campus after hours. No student is allowed to work in either building if no one else is around as per the University of Manitoba s Work Alone Policy. Resources and Special Programs Visiting scholars, artists and practitioners representing the Canadian and international design community support the academic programs in the Faculty of Architecture. The Faculty also has its own Gallery with an annual program of local, national and international exhibitions and a Cultural Events speaker series.

6 APPENDICES

6.1 BIBLIOGRAPHY AND NOTEWORTHY WEBSITES Suggested Reading The following books provide a broad introduction to the field(s) of contemporary design. They cover a range of topics that include interior design history, theory, technology and culture. We provide this list for those of you who wish to familiarize yourself with contemporary issues in design by doing some reading on your own. This list, which is updated regularly, is comprised of recommendations from the department s faculty and is put forth for your consideration. You may find some of these on course reading lists next term, but you are not expected to acquire them all. Most of the books are available at the Art/ Architecture Library at the University of Manitoba and we encourage you to take advantage of this resource. You may also consider purchasing used books from the many online book resellers. Incoming MID Students These two books present information about the practice of interior design that you may have acquired as undergraduates and shape it into critical questions that we hope will be answered during your graduate study. By understanding the links made by these authors between core concepts related to history, theory, process, and practice and the work of significant contemporary interior designers and architects, you will gain a fresh perspective on the state of interior design today.

Please read the section on installing Windows on a Mac. For AutoCAD, please make sure you have the Windows version, and not the Mac version. The Mac version of AutoCAD is not as feature complete at the Windows version.

Regarding Windows software on Mac computers: It is possible to run Windows software on Mac laptops. There are two ways to do it; you can use VMWare or Boot Camp. VMWare is a program that allows you to run a virtual copy of Windows alongside your Mac programs. Boot Camp allows you to partition your Mac in two, one Mac side and one Windows side. Microsoft Windows and VMWare are available from CADLab at no charge. For performance reasons, CADLab recommends Boot Camp over VMWare. The pros and cons of each are as follows: VMWare: Pros: -Allows you to use Windows and Mac applications at the same time -No need to reboot to switch between Mac and Windows -Easy to share files between Mac and Windows Cons: -Windows programs operate about 15-40% slower in VMWare than in Boot Camp -Programs that depend heavily on 3d graphics may occasionally be slow to respond or display graphical glitches Boot Camp: Pros: -Runs programs at 100% full speed -Is effectively the same as using a real PC, which eliminates any compatibility issues there might be with VMWare Cons: -Mac programs are not available while using Windows -Is effectively like having two separate computers, one Mac and one PC In either case, once you ve installed Windows, you should install Anti-Virus software, for example, Microsoft Security Esssentials.

6.3 REFERENCE LETTERS 101 AND SSHRC APPLICATION The following are a few guidelines for requesting reference letters: 1. It is good practice to ask for letters of reference at least one month in advance. Do not assume that the person you are asking will be able to produce a letter in a shorter amount of time even if you have a deadline. Also please remember that faculty members may receive requests for such letters from more than one student. Be sure to time your request to avoid asking someone to write a letter for you when they are taking a holiday. 2. In a single email, provide the referee (the person you are asking for a reference) with the following: curriculum vitae (CV) (also called a resume) letter of intent (see Appendix X) transcript forms (if required) with your name and other information already filled in clear instructions as to what the referee needs to do (fill in a form, fill in a form and write a letter, write a letter only, etc.) special instructions (i.e., student will pick up a sealed and signed envelope, send letter directly to address provided, mail letter to student at address provided, etc.) the date(s) that the letter/s or form/s are needed by 3. One week before the letter is due, send your referee a reminder email. If you do not need a reference letter but just want to include a professor as a reference on your CV, then you must still ask the professor for permission to do so. You should provide the professor with your CV, and a list of companies or organizations to which you have applied. SSHRC Application Advice If you have received a UMGF, and are required to apply for a SSHRC award, then you may want to consider using the following outline to complete the required two page Program of Study. Please note that the outline below is simply a suggestion; you MUST also consult the SSHRC application for additional requirements. Paragraph 1 Describe the MID program and its purpose. Make it clear that the first-professional degree program requires a practicum project, and that the project is a demonstration of the application of research rather than the creation of new information that results from research (as is typical in many/most other masters degree programs). Paragraph 2 Explain that the practicum project consists of: (a) a document that provides the rationale, design process, theoretical framework, and programme for the practicum project, and (b) a drawing set that demonstrates the application of evidence-based or research-informed design.

Paragraph 3 Explain the actual practicum project topic. Cite sources to demonstrate the relevance of the topic. Paragraph 4 Summary or conclusion. Relate the practicum topic back to the discipline of interior design and emphasize the discipline s concern for the health and well-being of human beings. References

6.4.1 LETTER OF INTENT (FOR IEO 4 AND PM) MID Application Letter of Intent Your letter of intent should: demonstrate your awareness of the interior design discipline (education, research, the profession, licensing, current and emerging issues for the discipline, body of knowledge, etc.). explain why you want to get a masters degree in interior design explain your practicum or thesis topic explain what you plan to do in the future 6.4.2 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES (for MID 1) Project Development Guidelines Once you are accepted in the first- or post-professional Master of Interior Design Program, you will need to develop a practicum or thesis topic. The topic that you choose to explore should be chosen carefully, should be of great interest to you, and should contribute to the interior design body of knowledge. It should also be a topic that can be explored to completion within two calendar years (allowing an October graduation). In the first-professional MID, ideally, you will not simply replicate existing approaches to the design of particular types of spaces, but instead, will improve on existing designs or propose designs or typologies that are not well-known. In the post-professional MID, you may choose to replicate/test existing research, or you may develop your own research project. Provided below is a short list of activities that may help inspire you as you develop your topic. Read something (theory, history, philosophy, current trends, etc.). Note themes while you read Do or make something (draw, paint, photograph, construct) Review the different interior typologies that exist (use books from reading list as sources ) Write as much as you can about topics that you are interested in Find precedent projects for topics that you might be interested in Flip through design magazines for inspiration Develop a framework for how to extract design implications from precedents or literature First-professional MID -- Once you ve identified a potential topic, test its appropriateness by writing a project brief for it. If you are not able to do so, then the topic may not be suitable. Post-professional MID Once you ve identified a potential topic, test it by writing research questions for it. Are the questions answerable? If so, how could they be answered (what research methodologies and information gathering techniques could you use?)
