Course General Description

Master of Science program is designed for those destined to be creative thought leaders across the expansive transportation field, including the automotive industry. Huge, challenges related to climate change, geo-political upheaval, technological disruption and environmental impact may well alter the transportation world as we know it beyond recognition. The very complexities of these forces of change require future transportation designers to think holistically, across disciplines and far beyond the sketch pad. Because designers can bring invaluable insights to an enterprise well before it even starts developing new products or services, our curriculum encompasses a combination of design methodology, strategic innovation, systems thinking, customer-driven research and entrepreneurial practices. The program's community of students—often with prior degrees in design, architecture, urban planning, business, engineering, anthropology or economics—brings diverse perspectives and stimulates the trans-disciplinary culture essential to advance the future of transportation.
