List new courses required for
the new or revised curriculum. How do they support the overall program
objectives of the major/minor/concentrations)?
(Be aware that approval
of the curriculum is dependent upon these courses successfully passing through
the Course Challenge list. If there are no new courses enter “None”)
New courses in the Apparel Design
curriculum include:
FASH 133 Fashion Art Studio - Students
explore basic design elements and principles, develop creative design studio
skills, and apply them to apparel design and merchandising specific solutions.
FASH 210 Seminar on Fashion and Sustainability - Introduction
to the emerging cannon of theory and practice regarding Sustainability as it
relates to fashion. Course is centered on four components of Sustainability and
Social Responsibility: Labor, Environment, Consumption and Body Image.
FASH 380 Product Development - explores
the interrelated roles of designer and retail merchandiser in the product
development process. Emphasizes development of fashion products that support
fashion merchandising, marketing, and branding strategies. Exposure to product
development and management tools used in product research, design, development,
production and distribution.
FASH
210 Seminar on Fashion and Sustainability
was developed to introduce our students to concepts of social responsibility and sustainability
critical to the field, which are then integrated into several
higher-level courses. This course supports our learning goals directed at
producing graduates aware of and able to act with accountability toward issues
of social responsibility and sustainability. FASH 133 Fashion Art Studio is designed to meet the program goal that
students understand and apply design elements/principles
to the design and critique of apparel and to the presentation of
apparel/fashion products. FASH 380 Product Development will provide a foundation for understanding
fashion product development as an interrelated process dependent on expertise
of both majors. These three courses will be required for both majors in the
department.
Explain, when appropriate,
how this new/revised curriculum supports the 10 goals of undergraduate
education: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/
Fashion and Apparel Studies is an
interdisciplinary field supported by foundations in aesthetics and art,
business and economics, chemistry, history, sociology, and psychology (goal 5).
In the Apparel Design undergraduate program, students study the
conceptualization, design, and pre-production of products for apparel-related
industries that meet the functional, expressive, and aesthetic needs and
desires of consumers. The Apparel Design program is based on creative problem
solving (goal 2) for the communication of ideas through oral, written and
visual means (goal 1), and on an understanding of external factors influencing
fashion. Content throughout the program on topics of social responsibility and
sustainability in the field engages the students in questions of ethics and
their responsibility to society (goal 4). The apparel industry is truly a
global one; students gain an international perspective (goal 10) through
content in several required courses, as well as the study abroad opportunities
and two multicultural courses in the department.
Identify other units affected
by the proposed changes:
(Attach permission from the affected units. If no other unit is affected, enter “None”)
We are deleting the ART 129
requirement. Four sections of this course per year have been taught by
S-Contract faculty and paid for by our department for 10+ years. This change
should not affect the
Describe the rationale for
the proposed program change(s):
(Explain your reasons for creating, revising, or deleting the
curriculum or program.)
The proposed program changes are the
result of an internal curriculum review examining departmental learning goals
and updates based on changes in the apparel industry since our last revision in
2004. The three new courses are replacing three existing courses in the Apparel
Design curriculum. There is no increase in credit hours required to graduate.
FASH 133 replaces ART 129; FASH 210 replaces FASH 110; and FASH 380 replaces
FASH 222. FASH 133 and 380 refine and replace courses of similar content. FASH
110 has overlapping content with FASH 133, so is no longer needed. FASH 210 is
new content that reinforces the department commitment to social responsibility
and sustainability. Further revisions (FASH 325 and 455) update existing required
courses in the curriculum after refining learning goals. Finally, the new
curriculum shows the courses designated as the First Year Experience (LIFE 101
and FASH 114) and the Discovery Learning Experience (FASH 419).
Program Requirements:
(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the
Course Catalog. If this is a revision,
be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of
the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
