The curriculum in industrial design requires 130 credit hours and
provides education in three-dimensional design for production, to meet
the needs of people and their environment. Emphasis is placed on the
awareness of the market demand for design, cognizance of 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.
