In Industrial Design 1 students are introduced to the profession, standard practices, and the thinking that is involved in the industrial design process.

They begin to understand user needs and expectations, manifesting their findings in 3-dimensionally realized products. Principles of aesthetics, sustainable design and practical manufacturing will be emphasized throughout the semester. Skills and knowledge introduced: prototyping, 3D form, sketching, storytelling, visual presentation, oral presentation, brand, materials, manufacturing, design research, observational research, ideation, brainstorming, individual and group critique, meaning and semantics.
