Industrial Design Undergraduate Program

This course aims to explore design methods developed by designers and academics, their impact on industry, and how they are applied within the industry. Students will delve into the research, product development, and evaluation methods used in various stages of design. They will be expected to research different design methods, apply them throughout the design process, and present the final product at the end of the course.
