The Design Computation sequence introduces computational thinking and design in the context of long-standing architectural technologies. Design Computation 2 focuses on cartography, the visual display of information, and spatial data analytics.

Thinking with Images. People have been looking at data for centuries -- with their eyes -- to discover patterns, meaning, and insight into the most important challenges of their time. This course teaches visual and spatial thinking coupled with visual data tools and interactive web coding to envision information. Far beyond plotting, finding ways to respond to complex problems, we will study and make useful, compelling, and beautiful tools to see.

This course ifs for international students doing CPT (Curricular Practical Training) Employment. Students will report and reflect on their experiences within professional practice and in their specific their discipline.

The research colloquium focuses on individual research, methods and project development. The course provides a forum for the interaction and learning among graduate students from various disciplines, and at different stages in the progress of research. The objective is for students to learn how to articulate their inquiry, and to critically question and compare their own research and methods of inquiry to those found in other disciplines.
