Lighting technology is accepted as an art and science branch based on information. It covers concepts such as increasing the color and light ability of human eye , protecting eye health, decreasing accidents, increasing work efficiency and economical potentials besides aesthetics and architectural concepts. It gives an aspect of updated techniques of developing mechanical and sanitary installations applied on buildings. Undergraduates gain ability to draw sanitary installation projects (ex:kitchen, bathroom) and also gain knowledge to work collaboratively with the mechanical engineers.
