Major in Industrial Design at Seoul Womens University Korea South
Industrial Design is involved in the production of all the multi-dimensional things that people make. In other words, industrial design determines the shape and functionality of electronic appliances, electric equipment, tools, vehicles, lights, furniture, environmental products, school supplies and products copying from animation characters and other 3-dimensional objects. Students will learn how to make these products small, beautiful and suitable for commercial use. Industrial Design requires a designer’s instinct, an understanding of and extensive knowledge of technology and a healthy appreciation of business as it is about designing the merchandise that will be sold to consumers. Although most of the design process is computer-assisted, it is very important to make a real 3-D model of their design and put it through tests to determine the feasibility of their design, because the industrial design deals with 3-D space. Industrial Design addresses basically all the aspects of people’s lives. To help adjust to the 3D space of industrial design, the curriculum focuses extra attention on computer-assisted design.
