产品设计
This major focuses on the design of user-friendly products and systems. Through an insight-driven design process, students develop meaningful and innovative products. 学生 work in a studio environment where collaboration and critical thinking are encouraged.
Majors take a variety of classes in design principles, 理论, and design thinking methodologies that serve as the foundation for decision-making. 学生 supplement their design education by taking courses in drawing and modeling (both manually and by computer), 插图, 美术, 平面设计, 材料的研究, 摄影, and computer 3D modeling.
