Product designers use their skills as artists and creative problem solvers to make objects beautiful, meaningful and functional.
The Program
Product designers (also known as Industrial Designers) create consumer products and experiences that enrich and impact every aspect of life – from the shoes you wear to life-saving medical devices and everything in between.
In the CCS Product Design program, students learn to become trendsetters and expand the limits of style and form. They acquire the skills it takes to solve complex problems by using critical thinking skills and interdisciplinary approaches that give them the power to change the world.
Possible Career Choices
Experiential Learning in Product Design
With our extensive industry connections spanning over a century, we ensure that the active learning our students engage in aligns with industry needs, preparing them for careers. Through hands-on experiences and reflection, students bridge classroom knowledge with real-world applications, both within and outside traditional classroom settings. Experiential learning opportunities are integrated into academic programs. Offered within courses or programs of study, these opportunities enable students to apply their knowledge through educational projects, partnerships, and placements.
