1 Satisfactory completion of all required class credits ( academic requirements)
2 Satisfactory production and presentation of a final thesis project
as an exposition of mastery in the field of study.
3 Final deliverables submitted for review and approval in digital form including:
1) FINAL THESIS PRESENTATION
Final version of thesis presentation in file format as authored and presented. Typically this was produced as a digital slideshow and delivered with an oral presentation so it would include presenter notes. All of the items that were presented in the final review of the M6 thesis Studio class should be documented and submitted. All of the files associated with the final presentation should be included and should be self-contained. Photos should be included of any models or physical elements that were presented if not otherwise in the presentation media.
2) PDF VERSION OF FINAL PRESENTATION
The final version of the thesis will be archived for the college archives as a .pdf file. This version needs to include the oral content presented in the final presentation (Eg. speaker notes content) but as text that is graphically included in either a text box at the bottom of each slide, or like subtitles, or in cartoon bubbles or otherwise so that a person opening the file that is unfamiliar with it can click through and experience both the verbal and visual content that was presented. Please note: A simple export of the final slides with presenter notes as a .pdf is not a sufficient production as it does not maintain the visual design/graphic integrity of the slides, does not present the typography at a usable size, or positively present the aesthetic discretion and sensibilities of a candidate for the Master of Science in Industrial Design.
3) THESIS WRITTEN RESEARCH PAPER
A written research paper that is 1000-2000 words in length in .pdf format. (Images are optional)
A stand-alone document that identifies and analyzes the implications of three or more key trends and/or drivers of change discovered in the research phase of the Thesis process and then correlates the analysis to the design opportunities and rationale for the developed outcomes of the student's individual Thesis project. Citations and references are required.
4) THESIS PROCESS DOCUMENTATION
Process documents, early work and milestone presentations of thesis project
5) 20 SAMPLE IMAGES From graduation portfolio
4” x 6” 300 dpi format or larger.
6) DIGITAL COPIES OF 3 BEST PROJECT PRESENTATIONS
from the course of your studies in Grad ID.
