Course General Description

You may not think about the design of your phone case or favorite water bottle, but someone was thinking of you when they designed it. Nearly every human-made object you interact with—no matter how mundane—was influenced by a product designer. In MCAD's product design major you will master the interplay of design, usability, and manufacturing to create inspiring everyday products.
