The FPDS
Program prepares students to work effectively
with
organizations that are planning built Environments
Students focus on appropriate strategies to lead and inform stakeholders and owners about appropriate goals for concept design - goals that ensure high quality, people-friendly, sustainable facilities. The FPDS Program teaches participants how the design of built environments influences work, recreation, and learning outcomes. Understanding the basics of project management is a learning goal of the FPDS Program. Students learn that planning activities should be led by qualified planners..... Those students that are also educators can become qualified planners through training in the FPDS program! Students that have experience and education in health care, business, industry, and recreation study, train, and complete a practicum in their respective area before they can qualify as planners. Overall, our candidates for the job market are people that have been trained in planning physical environments, and that have knowledge of the organization for which the planning is to be accomplished! The University of Georgia's FPDS Program is prepared to train students in the process for planning environments for work, learning, and recreation. |
