美国工业设计本科项目课程设置

以罗德岛设计学院为例了解美国工业设计本科项目课程设置

Curriculum
The program begins sophomore year with skill-based exposure to both traditional and state-of-the-art techniques for visualization. Through the manipulation of wood, metal, paper and plastic, students begin to understand the unique properties of these materials and the design possibilities inherent in them.

Junior year builds on the skills learned the first year by encouraging students to focus on projects dealing with technology as it applies to products, form and human factors, mechanics and movement, and more.

During senior year, students take advanced design studios, learn more about legal and business practices in the profession and undertake projects that emphasize innovation and the ability to refine formal design issues.

该项目从大二开始，以技能为基础，接触到传统和最先进的可视化技术。
通过对木材、金属、纸张和塑料的处理，学生开始了解这些材料的独特性能和它们固有的设计可能性。

大三以第一年所学的技能为基础，鼓励学生专注于与产品、形式和人为因素、力学和运动等相关的技术项目。

在大四的时候，学生们学习先进的设计工作室，学习更多的专业法律和商业实践，从事强调创新和提炼正式设计问题的能力的项目。
