Handbook

Industrial designers create products to create a better, safer, more economical, and more pleasant and aesthetically pleasing living environment. Industrial design combines knowledge of humans and technology. At the core of industrial design is a process that goes from research to concept creation, sketching, design prototyping, and  testing the product idea.

Industrial design for non-designers offers students interested in how they can translate their ideas and observation into product through a creative process that brings together key parts of industrial design.

The  course offers industrial design skills for students with no design background. It builds on a constructive pedagogy and it works with the start-up community of UNSW. It complements GENE1500, which teaches design thinking skills with a business focus.

The course does not require background knowledge.
