Course Description
Humber College's Industrial Design degree program has a high placement rate in design-related fields.
Studio courses and design projects often involve corporate clients to ensure real-world relevancy. Students generate innovative ideas, work them into preliminary sketches and designs, and bring them to life through the creation of computer-generated three-dimensional models and prototypes.
Sketching skills are stressed throughout the program, along with a thorough foundation in 3D computer-aided design (CAD), both dimension-driven and surface-driven. Other courses include Ergonomic Principles, Design for Production, and Environmental Practices. Courses in the business stream of the degree include Marketing, Economics for Industrial Design, and Design Management.
Design competitions (such as the Chair Show and Rocket Show) provide exposure to the Toronto industrial design industry, and a paid 14-week work term after the sixth semester gives you a critical edge in job placement and future career advancement.
Many faculty continue to work in the industry, ensuring content is relevant and projects exceed industry standards.
