Ask EDRA: Seeking audience members for on-line review of Interior Design research projects


Dear Colleagues,
I am currently seeking audience members for an on-line review of research projects for an on-line course I am teaching in Interior Design at SCAD-Atlanta. If you would like to be a part of this on-line event, you are cordially invited to join our INDS 749 E-Learning class for their Final Project Presentations on Wed 3/10/2010 from 7-9pm.

The presentations will take place in our virtual Abode Connect classroom located at http://scadconnect.scad.edu/r72175485. Attendees are encouraged to have a headset and microphone in order to participate in voice discussions, however those without such equipment are welcome and are encouraged to participate via the chat feature in the on-line classroom. Adobe Connect is a web-based application that requires no specific software, but does require lots of memory to operate. So if you are interested in attending, we may want to do a trial run before Wed.


Our agenda for Wed evening includes:

7:00 - 7:05     Welcome and Introduction

Student presentations
7:05 - 7:25pm   Carrie Cameron: Influences on Consumer Purchasing of Sustainable Home Goods
7:25 - 7:45pm   Terrea Hamilton: Sensory Perception and Comfort
7:45 - 8:05pm   Jamila Carter: Perspectives on Interior Design Education and the Use of Minor Studies
8:05 - 8:25pm   Dallas Dyer: Aduruguni: Designing the Intersection of Healthcare, Economics, and Culture

8:30 - 8:55pm   General Discussion
8:55 - 9:00pm   Closing

ASK EDRA: Environmental Psychology Masters Programs

My name is Uchita Vaid, and I am an Interior Design graduate from Institute of Environmental Design, India. I have been working in the same field with various design studios. After gaining an experience of two years now, I want to pursue master's degree in the field of Environmental Psychology - Human behavior and  environments. The universities offering this specialization, that I am aware of, are the Human Ecology Department at Cornell University, Ithaca and the University of Surrey, Uk. I would be extremely grateful if could recommend some other renowned universities offering this program and also options for scholarships for them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post.

With best regards,

Uchita Vaid
