In general this would come unclet one of two broad fields of creative design··- .. design for various uscs, materials, and types of manufacture) or design as related to the problems of education.
Satisfaetory completion of a design thesis requires that the student have competence in the planning and solution of assigned de5i~n problems, including the necessary lumd skills and knowledge of materials and processes.
An average thesis requires about 14, credit hours out of the total graduate requirements of :32 hours, A general understanding of the social and eco- nomic problems of the designer's profession is expected of all students.
Professional skill in design for materials and a detailed knowledge of production problems arc requirements.
The final thesis is submitted in writing, illustrated by photographs, diagrams, plans or drawings, and by examples of completed wOl·k.
A brief interneship in a ceramic plan or other appropriate professional outlet may be required in eases where it is indicated by the objective and
~cholastic standing of the student.
