Design connects people, culture, society and the environment with products and services. Products play an important part in our lives from the cup we use to drink to the car we drive to our destination. They are tools for our daily lives. Everything you see except nature has been designed. Product Design seeks to make people enjoy that experience better. Today, design is not just about creating things. The Product Design program is about understanding people, their context, and effectively using the design process and technology to enhance life experiences. In essence, design is about how designers view the world and ask the right questions.

Job Opportunities Product design has a multidisciplinary approach which opens up a wide range of career opportunities: for example, product and service development in areas such as furniture, lighting, transportation, etc. Graduates can find employment in the product development department of manufacturing and services companies, and may branch out into areas such as design research and interaction design. Product design is also a career which offers the ability to freelance and explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
