| Industrial Designers use an array of knowledge, techniques and expertise in order to make innovative concepts tangible in the form of products: objects, systems, or processes that can take the form of tools, environments or services that are meaningful and useful for society. This array includes observation skills, technical knowledge, human factors principles, and a systematic design process.
In the University of Washington Industrial Design Program, students learn to identify promising design directions, translate directions into concrete concepts with feasible definitions, and finalize implementation into a finished, refined solution.
The knowledge base developed during industrial design education enables our graduates to work effectively in the contemporary multidisciplinary product development environment. |
