The Five Departments in CHE

Department of Clothing, Textiles, and Interior Design

Department of Family Life and Child Development

Department of Food Science and Nutrition

Department of Home Economics Education

Department of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management

Department of

Clothing, Textiles and Interior Design

The Department of Clothing, Textiles and Interior Design (CTID), formerly known as the Department of Clothing, Textiles and Related Arts (CTRA), started off as one of the four departments established under the College of Home Economics (CHE) in 1961. Like the other departments in the College, the CTID Department is involved in instruction, research and extension. Likewise, its academic programs center on the basic needs of families, specifically on clothing and interior space.

Bachelor of Science in

Interior Design BS ID

Instituted in 1973, the BS Interior Design, formerly titled, Bachelor of Interior Design (BID), is a joint program between CHE and the College of Architecture. It provides a broad general education and specialization in interior design. Specifically, in includes courses in design, history of art, furniture construction, soft furnishings, aesthetics, socio-economic, cultural and environmental aspects of daily living in shaping and treating space to meet the needs of individuals, families and institutions.

Bachelor of Science in

Interior Design BS ID

The program trains and prepares its students to qualify for the licensure examination for interior designers. BSID graduates qualify for positions such as junior project designer in interior design, architectural and furniture firms; as product designer, visual merchandiser, display artist, movie or TV production designer; events planner, stylist for interior design magazines and entrepreneur for interior accessories.

Master in

Interior Design M ID

The MID program, initially offered in 1996, is designed to upgrade the competencies in the teaching of Interior Design at the tertiary level. Being the only master’s degree in interior design in the country, it likewise provides advance training in interior design for practitioners in terms of strengthening their skills in research and creative work. It also addresses the requirement of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) pertaining to interior design educators obtaining a master’s degree.

Drafting MaterialsDrafting Table / Board

A drafting table / a drafting board is basically the flat surface wherein you will draft. It should have a straight side where the t-square can slide freely and accurately. There are many different sizes to choose from. While the smaller ones may be cheaper, it’ll be a lot better to buy the bigger ones. At least those in which 20 x 30” paper can fit.

Drafting MaterialsT-square

A t-square is perhaps the most basic drafting tool you will ever need. It allows you to draw perfectly straight and parallel lines. There is a wide variety of types to choose from. There are long ones (90cm) and shorter ones (60cm). Take note that it is always advantageous to get the longer one, since there would be times that you would be drawing on paper that is 20 x 30 INCHES big.

Drafting MaterialsTriangles

Triangles are usually bought in pairs, and are another basic drafting tool. The two basic triangles that you absolutely must have are the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 degree triangles. Say goodbye to the days when you used a ruler! From now on, it will be all about the t-squares and triangles. Remember, a bigger triangle will prove to be more useful in the long run.

Drafting MaterialsRuler

The ruler isn’t exactly absolutely needed for drafting when you already have your triangles. However, it is still sometimes useful to get a straightedge like this one, and you can also use it to measure in inches and centimeters (if your triangles only have the inches or the centimeter measurements).

Drafting MaterialsScaled Ruler

A scaled ruler is basically a tool in order for you to determine the length of a meter when it is scaled down (you’ll understand this more in class). It comes in different forms (a triangular scale and a fan scale). When buying scaled rulers, be sure to buy the METRIC one, unless your professor specified otherwise.

Drafting MaterialsCircular Template

A circular template is basically a piece of plastic with several circular cutouts. These circles range in size and will be very useful when drafting. It’s a more convenient method of drawing perfect circles than using the compass. It would also be advantageous to have a template of very large circles as you would never know when you’d need them.

Drafting MaterialsEllipse Template

Much like the circular template, the ellipse template provides an easy way of drawing perfect ellipses. It will be quite useful especially when labeling the floor plans and reflected ceiling plans (you’ll learn how to draw these soon enough.

Drafting MaterialsFrench Curve

French curves are a set of plastic sheets that have curved edges. Imagine an irregularly-shaped ruler. These are not absolute essentials when drafting, so it’s better to consult your professor for each class to see if you actually need it.

Drafting MaterialsProtractor

We’ve all encountered this basic tool in high school and maybe elementary. Well, you’ll be needing more of this half-circular tool here in Interior Design. It helps you measure angles, draw arcs, etc.

Drafting MaterialsCompass

A compass is a two-pointed tool that has a needle on one end and a pencil or pen tip on the other. It is particularly useful in drawing circles, arcs, or other curves. One advantage of using the compass over a circular template is that you’d have more freedom in adjusting the size of the circle you wish to create.

Drafting MaterialsFurniture Template

It is no secret that interior designers will definitely have to draw floor plans and furniture layouts. These are basically the top view of a room. Having a furniture template will be highly useful when making drawings like these, as you’d simply have to position the template over the paper then trace over it. Then TADA! The top view of a furniture piece, as simple as that. Of course, getting a furniture template is not compulsory and you can always draw furniture pieces using your regular t-square and triangles.

Drafting MaterialsMasking / Magic Tape

When making technical drawings, it is always important to properly secure your paper onto the drafting board / table. To do this without damaging the paper afterwards, using a masking tape or a magic tape is highly advisable.

Drafting MaterialsCartolina

A clean piece of cartolina is usually used as an under sheet when drafting. This is to maintain the cleanliness of the paper you are going to submit, as well as make sure that slight inconsistencies on the table (such as scratches or dents) will not affect the quality of the lines you draw. This cartolina is first secured onto the board / table using masking or magic tapes, then the drawing paper is secured on top of this.

Drafting MaterialsEraser and Erasing Shield

We all now what an eraser is and what it used for. Find an eraser you like and are comfortable with, then buy a few extras of it! On the other hand, an erasing shield is a small sheet of thin metal, which has several small cutouts on it. The purpose of this is to guide you in erasing, when you need to erase only one thin line or one tiny dot and there are a lot of other lines and dots around it that you wouldn’t want to accidentally erase.

Drafting MaterialsPencils and Pens

You will now need more than just one type of pencil. There are a number of different pencil weights, and it’s important to have different kinds. There are pencils that are very light, and pencils that are very dark. You could ask your Arch 1 and Arch 2 professor to know which specific one you’d need. Same goes for the pens. There different line thicknesses that could be drawn, depending on the size of the point of the pen.
