General Information on Undergraduate Program
The undergraduate program in Industrial Design equips students with theoretical knowledge. practical skills. and professional competencies to effectively address real-world design challenges. The curriculum includes foundational and elective coursework in areas such as materials. manufacturing techniques. structures. human factors and ergonomics. design history and culture. marketing. and management. Students develop strong proficiency in design communication using both traditional and computer-aided drawing and modeling techniques. Studio courses form the core of the program. providing opportunities to engage in diverse design projects that integrate and build upon foundational knowledge. In their final year. students typically collaborate directly with industry on their graduation projects. Ultimately. the program prepares graduates to creatively and effectively tackle a broad range of industrial design problems. without limiting them to specific areas of specialization.Undergraduate Curriculum
