Industrial Design
Integrating diverse needs into meaningful creations
Industrial Design is a creative process concerned with the appearance and usefulness of manufactured goods.
The Bachelor of Science in Design - Industrial Design Major provides a platform for the combining of discovery, experimentation, and specialization by way of a strong foundation in critical and cultural theory, experiential learning, craftsmanship, technological literacy, and sustainable stewardship with opportunities for students to author their individual curricular pathway within the product design ecosystem through elective coursework.
Ideas alone are worthless. Ideas with action can become priceless. DAAP has given me the tools and skills to bring my ideas to life and pursue my passion for entrepreneurship.
