INDD 500: Skills & Methods for Ind Dsgn
An intensive summer workshop for graduate students matriculating without an industrial design background. This course replicates much of the skills-based content covered in undergraduate Design I, and goes on to cover shop and prototyping issues otherwise found in Materials and Process: Shop Techniques, as well as basic materials and process selection for manufacturing. Projects are designed, but this class focuses on techniques and skills rather than the objects designed. Note: This course meets from 9-5, the last week (one week only) of the SM4W semester. Student must register for course by 1st day of the SM4W term.

INDD 511: Furniture Design I
This course follows Introduction to Furniture Design, and offers projects that address furniture processes and materials in greater depth than the introductory course. This course is appropriate for those who have taken Introduction to Furniture, and it is also an appropriate initial entry point into study of furniture design for those with prior experience in prototyping, woodworking, measured drawings and CAD. Registration is by permission of the instructor, to ensure that students have requisite background to engage successfully with the material.

INDD 603: Furniture Design 2
This is a new advanced course, continuing and building on skills and understandings in the first two furniture design courses (Introduction to Furniture Design and Furniture Design 1). it is intended to be the culmination of a sequence of Furniture courses that can be taken as a 9-credit concentration within the Industrial Design major, or as an electives in INDD or other majors. This course requires Furniture Design 1 as a prerequisite because it makes use of concepts, skills, and projects introduced there.

INDD 700: Research & Desn Process Meths
This course gives students the tools they need to find and frame opportunities, to construct successful design briefs and to evaluate design in progress, and to explore and document new generative and evaluative research techniques and defining basics of professional practice. class projects will support studio work, as well as contributing to ongoing research initiatives.

INDD 701: Design Bus & Entrepreneurship
This course addresses specialized topics in professional practice relevant to graduate industrial design students. These include current approaches to intellectual property, professional ethics, contracts, management practices, and structures of practice and employment in the field. In addition, students research fields within industrial design to identify potential career paths, plan and execute individual strategies for networking and interviewing, and prepare portfolio deliverables and other self-promotion materials in consultation with faculty and guest critics.

INDD 703: User Centered Design
This course is the first in the MSID studio sequence. This studio concentrates on user-centered design techniques, including observational/ethnographic research methods and methods incorporating users and other stakeholders into the design process. Each studio will be expected to do extensive generative research and to publicize/archive its research and conclusions.

INDD 705: Collaborative Innovatn Studio
This course is the second in the MSID studio sequence. This studio provokes interdisciplinary activity through a project centered on designed systems, which requires industrial design but requires inputs from other disciplines. Types of projects might include:- ID + corporate brand experience, - ID + materials science product development, - Products of service/business, platform design, - Entrepreneurial design (design + business plan), - Software/hardware systems

INDD 707: Current Issues in Ind Dsg
In this class, students map and discuss the major influences on industrial design today, as well as modeling the lifetime learning and assessment of theory that are necessary for effective professional design and critique. The class is a seminar and is thematic rather than historical in focus. The reading list is expected to include blogs and periodicals, as well as books, and will change frequently.

INDD 803: Master's Proj I:Implementation
The 2-semester capstone project sequence stresses the importance of iterative prototyping and evaluation in current design practice by devoting two semesters to the ID Capstone project. In this first capstone project semester, students begin work with a team of collaborators within and outside the University. Students have weekly progress critiques with studio faculty and other students, as well as regular meetings with outside project stakeholders. The semester concludes in a progress presentation with outside critics.

INDD 804: Master's Proj II: Dev & Eval
The MSID master's project sequence includes two courses. In this second semester, students work with collaborators and critics/clients within and outside the University to develop, detail and revise designs to a professional level, and to test their performance in the real world. Activities include weekly critiques with studio faculty and other students, as well as meetings with outside project stakeholders. The semester concludes with in-person defense of the work and a display at the CDEC Spring Design Show.
