The Bachelor of Science in Product Design empowers you to channel your artistic vision into creative, user-focused solutions for complex design challenges. Through a project-centered curriculum that fuses aesthetic intuition with advanced technologies, you’ll gain direct experience in human-centered design approaches, digital modeling, physical and digital prototyping, and fabrication technologies. You’ll learn to design products that enhance sustainability, usability, and meaningful human experiences. The program emphasizes hands-on prototyping, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration, giving you technical fluency in both digital and analog fabrication, user research, and design process management. You’ll work on industry-sponsored projects and collaborate with professional partners, developing the creative, technical, and strategic capabilities needed for long-term career success. To ensure your workflow keeps pace with your imagination, you will be equipped with a high-performance mobile workstation through LTU’s laptop program: the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 G5. This standardizes the technology across the program, meaning faculty and students alike utilize the same professional software tools essential for digital modeling, visualization, and prototyping, supporting a seamless, collaborative workflow from concept development to fabrication. With an emphasis on iterative design, adaptable thinking, and real-world application, you’ll graduate prepared for careers in consumer products, emerging technologies, toys and sports equipment, medical devices, furniture and housewares, mobility systems, user experience and user interface design, and more, carrying a versatile foundation for professional growth and leadership. Mobility Design Concentration If you want to specialize your studies, you can pursue the Concentration in Mobility Design within the Product Design program. This concentration builds the critical skills needed to excel in the rapidly evolving mobility industry, focusing on the design of products and systems that help people move, ranging from automobiles, boats, and planes to recreational vehicles, drones, and emerging mobility technologies. What You’ll Learn Human-centered design research and user-focused problem solving Digital modeling and visualization Multimodal prototyping in both analog and digital fabrication environments Systems thinking for product design Materials, manufacturing processes, and sustainability practices Design process management and collaboration across disciplines Why LTU Industry-sponsored projects built directly into your coursework Hands-on learning in the studio environment and LTU labs Small, studio-based courses taught by experienced designers Cross-disciplinary opportunities with other design programs Strong integration of emerging technologies and real-world design processes Project-centered curriculum that mirrors professional practice Where Our Students and Graduates Work Graduates pursue careers in product design and adjacent fields, including: Consumer products and product innovation Furniture and housewares Toys and sports equipment Sustainability-focused design Emerging technologies and smart devices Mobility and transportation systems Medical devices User experience/user interface design Industrial design and design strategy Current students and graduates work for local and national companies, including Apple, OXO, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Altair Design Studio,
