Welcome
Industrial designers determine the form and function of products we use every day—designing them to suit user needs while also considering the demands and limitations of production. The industrial designer is in the business of creating new products, services or ideas that enable people to lead better lives, stimulate commerce and contribute to community well-being.
The SCAD industrial design program is one of the fastest growing in the United States, with a large full-time faculty and a spacious, well-equipped facility. The curriculum and instruction develop highly motivated visionary students of design who create, articulate and communicate innovative solutions that improve people’s lives.

The curriculum and instruction develop highly motivated visionary students of design who create, articulate and communicate innovative solutions that improve people’s lives.
Through theory, practice and reflection, students develop original methodologies focused on cognitive thinking, design inquiry and creative problem-solving.
Coursework parallels professional practice, involving actual clients for industries including consumer electronics, communications and entertainment, housewares, interaction, marine, lawn and garden, toys, transportation and more.
Multimedia product design projects have been sponsored by industry partners including Coca-Cola, AMC Theaters, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, JCB Inc., Newell Rubbermaid, Kicker-Stillwater Design, Kids II, Freescale, Case-Mate and Philips, among others.

The Gulfstream Center for Industrial and Furniture Design in Savannah is a 44,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility with studios, labs and workshops, high-end computer labs and the latest industry software, including Autodesk Studio, Adobe Master Collection, Rhino 3-D, SolidWorks and Autodesk Maya. Five 3-D printers allow students to print ABS and polycarbonate 3-D models of their computer-generated designs.
In a nearly 10,000-square-foot model shop, students work with wood, metal, plastics and composites to visualize their design solutions. They also have access to a three-axis computer numerically controlled vertical milling machine and a large envelope five-axis CNC router.
Upper-level students work directly with industry professionals on real-world design projects and challenges and have opportunities for internships that often lead to employment after graduation.
