Course Objectives: | This course is an introduction to lighting design and research. It aims to provide the knowledge necessary for the students to carry out their graduate studies of lighting design. It is aimed that the students will search for their possible research subjects, determine their own preferences among them, conduct literature review and present and apply the most appropriate data collection and analysis methods to their chosen subject. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Increasing the existing knowledge of lighting design; 2. Selecting a topic related to lighting design and reviewing the relevant literature; 3. Determining the objectives of the research on the basis of the literature review; 4. Gaining the knowledge of which scientific data collection and analysis methods can be used to achieve the above-mentioned objectives. |
In the first five-week part of this course, the necessary information about light and lighting design is transferred to the students in order to develop a research proposal on a subject they are interested in. In the following weeks, the subjects related to writing the text of the research proposal that the students will submit at the end of the semester are emphasized. |
