With the studio at its core, the product design curriculum introduces traditional design fundamentals alongside courses in materials and manufacturing, history and ethics, human factors and ergonomics, and entrepreneurship to build versatile and agile future designers. Variable-credit electives allow students to customize their learning experiences, staying responsive to changes in industry and explore the fringes of what’s possible through design. 

From day one, you’ll be working with your hands and gaining exposure to both analog and digital methods of making and developing your design concepts. You’ll continue utilizing industry-standard tools as you tackle increasingly challenging design problems and charting your own course and specialization in design practice through your year-long senior thesis project.
