COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND NUMERICAL SKILLS

• Demonstrate and apply good communicative, written, and oral skills.
• Envision creative solutions and visualize alternatives using a variety of traditional graphic and digital mediums.

PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS

• This domain is Not Applicable (N/A) for this program curriculum.

Rationale: Psychomotor skills, such as movement, coordination, manipulation, dexterity, grace, strength, and speed are necessary for performance in most professions. While psychomotor skills certainly apply to drawing and model-building, requirements for these tasks at the level of an undergraduate architecture degree are more than a demonstration of eye-hand coordination and craft. Drawing and model-making are considered communication and design-thinking skills, and therefore, included as part of the Communication Skills domain.
