Second Year Curriculum
Second year curriculum is the beginning of an intensive industrial design journey. Students build a thorough foundation in history, materials and methodsand visual communication specific to the industrial design field. Classroom knowledge and problem solving methodologies are applied in the Sophomore Design Studio
Workshops led by visiting industry professionals offer unique and valuable additions to the studio environment.
