Industrial Design

University of Washington

Industrial Design (ID) aims to understand and help create the physical objects we see, interact with and use in everyday life. From consumer electronics and housewares to sporting goods and medical devices; industrial designers balance the aesthetics with the overall user experience of physical products. The Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design at the University of Washington is an intensive, cohort-based program. Around 20 students are accepted each year. UW ID students regularly win national and international design awards/scholarships and are featured in significant publications. Industrial Design students participate in imagining and creating physical products intersecting with environments, systems, and services. In gradually increasing levels of scale and complexity, skills can be applied to a range of industries including consumer electronics, medical and healthcare, and aerospace and transportation. The program emphasizes the development of forms derived from patterns of use, requirements for function, and constraints imposed by industrial manufacturing.
