Industrial design (ID) shapes tomorrow's world. Our BS in Industrial Design program teaches you to craft solutions that impact lives globally: whether it's manual washing machines for underserved communities, advanced vehicle interfaces, improved travel backpacks, or eco-friendly bamboo audio devices. Everything begins with the design methodology—a systematic approach to innovation that generates better systems, services, and products.
In our collaborative studio setting, you'll master sketching, 3D modeling, prototyping, and exchanging ideas to refine your work. You'll design sustainably, considering user needs, client goals, and global impact. By joining international design teams, you'll enhance your expertise through hands-on research and travel opportunities. You'll even partner with industry giants like Philips, Knoll, and Umbra on real-world projects. An ID degree unlocks diverse career possibilities. Alumni have risen to leadership roles in design firms, launched successful startups via digital platforms, and contributed to humanitarian initiatives that transform communities.
