Overview

The Industrial Design BID program from Carleton University consists of a multidisciplinary curriculum structured to develop the knowledge and skills important to the profession. Students take basic courses in industrial design that focus on both theory and practice as well as courses in math, physics, psychology and economics.

Topics introduced are mass-production technology, ergonomics, form and colour, perception, and computer applications. These courses establish a foundation for a range of industrial design projects, some of which are undertaken with practicing industrial designers. Students can select from a range of electives available in other disciplines on campus.

Success factors

The industrial designer is often responsible for communicating and contextualizing conceptual ideas in an interdisciplinary team that may involve anthropologists, management, marketing, engineering, and manufacturing specialists. Graduates offer a unique contribution to interdisciplinary teams, and are adept at working with professionals from other fields.
