What will I be Doing?

Industrial Designers use imagination, creativity, critical thinking and technical knowledge to design better manufactured products. You will play an important role in the research and development of products. Typically, you will work in a design office as part of a team of designers or in a manufacturing environment.

Industrial Designers develop optimal products with respect to aesthetics, marketability, ergonomics, functionality, production cost, distribution, and impact on society and the environment. Your tasks will include participating in concept and product development by producing: ideation sketches, renderings, models, presentations, 2D and 3D CAD and technical documentation for manufacturing.
