| Description | Virtually every object we interact with in our daily lives was,
in some way, designed by someone. In this studio design course,
students will explore the theory and practice of industrial
design-the design of everyday objects. We will explore the
tactics of human-centered design, design processes from concept
to fabrication, and the craft of executing a final product.
Students will tackle an array of small skill-building projects,
working toward a final piece-in most cases, a functional object
and/or prototype. We will explore various means of fabrication
from manual and traditional crafts to digital tools for rapid
