Introduction to Industrial Design
In the Introduction to Industrial Design course, students redesign a simple office supply product, learn and practice technical drawing techniques, and are introduced to how products are made. They explore what reverse engineering is, the importance of patents, as well as rapid prototyping. They will also use 3D design software to complete several projects.
