Product Design

Unleash your creativity in a design challenge where your imagination leads the way! Solve real-world problems and turn your ideas into reality—think sleek desk organizers, futuristic planters, or custom phone holders—all with 3D printing. Ready to make your creative mark? The future of design is yours—let’s get started!

AI in Object Design

You will learn to design objects using Generative Artificial Intelligence. Delve into integrating AI techniques in the creative process, including defining a design objective, developing a design research strategy, creating mood boards and sketches, and employing creative prompting to generate concepts. (This course is cross-listed with IND 303.)

Design Drawing 2

Practical freehand sketching abilities are a valuable asset. You’ll apply line, light, shade, shadow, value and contrast to shapes found in manufactured products, and begin the use of color. (This course is cross-listed with IND 662.)

Drawing Fundamentals for Design Communication

Build a solid foundation for visual communication by learning the linear perspective theory to accurately communicate your ideas through drawing! You will learn the theory through drafting exercises, develop freehand drawing skills, and produce quick digital sketches to accurately represent and communicate three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.

Design Drawing 1

Develop industrial design-quality drawing skills to visually communicate your ideas as three-dimensional forms. You’ll improve the quality of your sketches and gain perspective skills by focusing on rendering, craftsmanship, accurate perspective, contrast, and composition.

Anatomy of Automobiles

Identify common automotive components and how they work together as a system. You’ll satisfy a Quantitative Literacy requirement by learning to convert units (metric and imperial), convert temperature (Fahrenheit and Celsius), and calculate volume.

Design Project 1

Combine your introductory drawing and model-making skills to explore your personal and professional interests under an assigned general topic. You’ll go through a typical design process that includes preparation, design research, design, and implementation phases.

Product Design: Ergonomics

There’s a lot to consider when designing handheld consumer products. Ergonomics will be discussed in-depth and you will apply research, ideation, and problem-solving to develop your concepts. You will apply all skills learned to your final presentations, including developmental sketches, orthographic drawings, sketch models, and renderings.

Special Topics: Graduate Design Studio

Propose a project based on your career goals. You’ll use the industrial design process to identify problems, set design objectives, and design criteria to guide you through the design processes. The final portfolio piece will cover empathy, logic, and appropriate aesthetics for the brand and user in a succinct design… Read More
