Page 1 of 12 THE OVERVIEW:
Form. Structure. Invention. Products. You see products that don't exist; you see how to improve those that do. Your mind thinks three-dimensionally, with a sense of purpose and function. A hundred years ago, your title would have been "Inventor". Today, you're a re-inventor, with the vision to advance the tools and toys of our everyday life to new and improved levels. As an Industrial Design major, you will be immersed in principles of three-dimensional design, including perspective drawing, visualization methods, model-making and use of materials. You will experience fundamentals of creative invention, marketing, psychology, ergonomics and engineering. In your junior year, you will take advanced design courses where you will have the opportunity to design products in collaborative situations, often for outside clients. You'll be introduced to the latest computer software programs that have revolutionized image generation and pictorial representation. The preparation of your portfolio, which takes place in your senior year, is the final step toward your entry into a professional design career. Graduates of MIAD's Industrial Design Program are actively recruited by a wide range of prestigious international corporations, and re-invent everything from backpacks to toasters to rocket ships.
