Program Summary

Industrial design is a field that focuses on the creation and development of products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. It combines elements of art, engineering, and business to design consumer goods, tools, furniture, and other objects used in daily life. The course emphasizes problem-solving, creativity, and innovation, teaching students how to design products that enhance user experience, improve efficiency, and address practical needs. 

 

Students learn about materials, manufacturing processes, ergonomics, and sustainability, ensuring their designs are feasible for production and environmentally responsible. The course also covers digital tools such as computer-aided design (CAD) software, prototyping techniques, and model-making to help bring ideas to life. Research and user-centered design principles are integral parts of the curriculum, allowing designers to understand consumer needs and market trends. 

 

Collaboration is essential in industrial design, as students often work with engineers, marketers, and manufacturers to develop products that are viable for mass production. The course encourages hands-on experience through workshops, projects, and internships, preparing students for careers in product design, automotive design, furniture design, or technology-driven industries. By blending creativity with technical knowledge, industrial design equips individuals to create innovative and practical solutions that improve everyday life.
