Industrial Design Undergraduate Program

The course aims to provide department students with a basic introduction to materials. Initially, fundamental concepts are introduced, followed by information about the general properties of materials, organized in groups.

Material Science and Engineering, William D. Callister Jr.

The purpose of the course is to provide industrial design students with fundamental material knowledge, explain the basic criteria to be considered in material selection, and teach the methods for integrating this knowledge into Basic Design work.

1. Can apply the right material selection and production strategies in the design process by learning materials and production technologies.
