Undergraduate
Programs
Students in the BAIA program develop an individualized course of study
with the help of an advisor choosing a technical emphasis
in Digital Media, Visual Communication, Product Design or Industrial
Technology.
The concentration provides the most focused study in product-oriented
design and development applications within the DAI
Department. The concentration is interdisciplinary, incorporating the
study of the nature and processing of materials, marketing, and aesthetics.
The design concentration prepares students for design study, research
and practice relative to user-centered needs, as well as resourceful
implementation of technology innovation, materials, marketing principles
and aesthetic values.
The concentration provides a formal structure for our existing visual
media studies incorporating graphic design and digital media in the BAIA
program. The concentration is interdisciplinary, incorporating the study
of design history, aesthetics, process, technology, materials, and marketing.
The design concentration prepares students to changes within the Industry,
better aligning our graduates with contemporary methods, processes, concepts
and nomenclature. The outcome learning objectives of students in the
concentration in Visual Communication Design will provide them with the
ability to understand the design and computer considerations of both
print and digital media.
Students in the BSIT program develop a management-oriented technical curricula
built on studies drawn from the Departments of Design and Industry, Business
Analysis and Computing Systems, Management, and Mathematics.
The Minor in Industrial Arts provides non-major undergraduates with a
broad exposure to industry and technology. Students develop professional
and technical skills needed for entry-level employment in a range of
industrial occupations.
The Department of Design and Industry has developed several international
exchange programs with institutions of higher education
throughout the world in diverse locations ranging from London, Milan
and Taiwan.
Graduate Program
The focus of the Master's program is to both hone students' research skills
and deepen their professional design expertise. Note
that many of our graduate students did not major in design
as an undergraduate; this degree is often pursued
by individuals in career transitions.
