Description
Students enrolled in the Industrial Design Program find themselves in a unique and creative environment, where a multi-faceted mission includes the creation of new knowledge while educating future designers in design and preparing them to contribute to 21st century society. In this context, students take advantage of the technological environment of the university to gain a broad understanding of design, materials, methods of production, user needs, and market trends. After completing six semesters of design studio, students take a variety of management, fabrication and design courses, including modeling and prototyping, principles of management, human factors/ergonomics, ethnographic and mechanics and electronics. The program exposes undergraduate students to the various potential fields within the profession and provides them with opportunities to study robotics and advanced materials.
