Industrial Design (B.Sc.)

Nowadays, industrial design, as a modern field in Iran and the world, has become one of the most attractive university majors (both technically-engineering and artistically) due to addressing one of the most essential needs of societies. Design (or Design) as a culture of dealing with technology alongside the culture of architecture and engineering is independently forming and evolving globally. Industrial design students simultaneously acquire artistic creativity and technical-engineering topics, designing and modeling products, services, and systems needed by society, and enhancing their surroundings from the perspectives of human factors, usability, and aesthetics.

This field involves a three-way interaction between culture, technology, and humans, and through this interaction, it has the capability to impact various areas (from product design to furniture and equipment). In Iran, this field has multiple orientations, from product design and communication design to interior design, furniture design, and culture-based design.

Industrial Design

Industrial design refers to the design of all tools, equipment, and products used by humans, from kitchen utensils to computer systems, cars, furniture, etc., which are produced in factories. An industrial designer is someone who combines science and art to create new products or design new applications for tools. The minimum education required to enter this profession is a bachelor’s degree. In Iran, industrial design is a subset of the arts group and is offered in a semi-centralized manner. It is important to know that experience in this field is very important. Therefore, you can start your professional activities during your student years so that after graduation, you have a practical resume and can enter the job market more easily. Learning computer skills such as working with software like 3D Max, Rhino, and other 3D programs will help you present better designs. Additionally, participating in international industrial design competitions will help you become more recognized. Ultimately, you can establish a company under your own name. Industrial designers, depending on their field and work area, interact with individuals related to that field. For example, if you are an industrial designer of children’s items, you will collaborate with doctors, child psychology specialists, etc., to design suitable items for children.
