For the Degree Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design
The curriculum in industrial design requires 120 credit hours and
provides education in the design of products for mass production to
meet the needs of people and their environment. Emphasis is placed
on the awareness of the market demand for design, experience in the problem solving process and methods
and materials of production and their relative costs, creation of
designs that are in visual harmony with their environment and that
are satisfying to the consumer, and responsiveness to the changes
in technology and cultural patterns.
