A car's dashboard. A cellular phone. An office chair. A toy train. Students in Wentworth's industrial design program will tell you.
Industrial designers make products more functional, more attractive, and more economical to produce.
And these qualities give products a big advantage in the global marketplace. Anything that offers a competitive edge is sure to be in big demand by business, and that's why industrial design is such a growing field. It takes visual comprehension and problem-solving skills, as well as a sensitivity to beauty. You must have an understanding of people because you're designing for people. Students in industrial design learn freehand drawing and model making tech-niques, as well as how to work with computers and with each other.
