Industrial Design Schools: Opinions and Questions

Assuming Teresa means Industrial Design and not Industrial Engineering, one other thing should be mentioned.

The end game for this education is working in new product development (NPD) and it should be said that either major can get you into NPD. As a matter of fact, most any major can get you into NPD, see ideo as an example.

Obviously a particular major will its own skillset and a person should pick the one that is best for them. But when school is “over”, a person will pick up the other NPD skillsets in their career. All a major gets you is a particular foot in a particular door.

That said, I am excellent with numbers/math and excelled as an engineering major. Which significantly increased my parent’s consternation when I switched and struggled as a fine art major in ID.
