Industrial Design

Sponsored Projects


The University of Houston strives to forge relationships with local industry that benefit both students and professionals alike. The local Houston and regional Texas areas offer an immensely diverse pool of talents to draw upon.

Through company sponsored projects the ID program creates in-depth design explorations that relate to real life scenarios. These month long or often semester long projects supplement the student's education by offering unique and valuable experiences to the college curriculum.
