ARCH College of Design & Business performs AIEED screenings for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Design courses. AIEED was launched in the year 2010 with interactive components designed to help assess abilities and the attitude of aspirants for careers in Design and since then ARCH conducts it every year as a process to select students for the various courses at the college. 2011 saw the conversion of AIEED into an online screening, making it easily accessible to interested students who could participate in the Screening from anywhere in the world.
This ‘Screening for Design Studies’ and its parts and stages will in actuality enable you to give us A COMPLETE INTRODUCTION TO YOURSELF, and in the process, help us discover the real you - We want to know WHO YOU ARE as against ‘How good your skills are ….’
We are VERY INTERESTED in HOW you THINK. In your Attitude and Approach towards the world that surrounds you. Not so much in your knowledge, but more in your Openness to Learn; your Perseverance, Focus and Toughness to take on challenges in the process of Creative Problem Solving. AND your ability to SURVIVE sanely in a creative environment!
We want potentially introspective and thinking aspirants with the right spirit and attitude to take up Design as a responsible profession.
The Complete Process of Screening for Design Studies is aimed at examining
1. ‘ATTITUDE’ as against the existing, overly measured, ‘APTITUDE’. It will evaluate and assess: -
Psychological Consonance and Endowments for Design e.g. Empathy, creativity, toughness, Openness, Perseverance & Focus, Sense of Humour/ appreciation of humour/ connections etc.
2. COMPREHENSION & COMMUNICATION SKILL – in the broadest all-encompassing sense – Visual, Verbal, Conceptual, Interpersonal, Transactional
