This strategy allows us to admit two complementary profiles of students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One is a student experienced in design who is entering graduate school for the purpose of developing a specialized area of expertise or as a means of undertaking a career in design education. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The other is a student with evident design ability, who is selecting design as a career choice after previous study and experience in another field. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Together these two admission profiles result in a rich and diverse graduate program environment conducive to the exchange of accumulated knowledge and experiences. This approach has allowed us over the past 25 years to educate a number of graduates who have gone on to distinguish themselves as industrial design practitioners and educators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though our program is relatively small, it has the benefit of close connections between the students and the faculty, and provides an environment where the students learn from each other as well as from the resources of the department, college and university.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ncst-askew-media-text has-blue-400-background-color mirror-layout wp-block-ncst-mini-story\">\n    <div class=\"ncst-askew-media-text__container\">\n      \n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-text-column\">\n    <h2 class=\"ncst-text-column__heading\">Our Master of Industrial Design is accredited by NASAD and ranked among the top graduate programs in the US.<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"ncst-text-column__teaser\">Of particular interest to the faculty is the contribution graduate students can make to an emerging design research culture.

id=\"block-4b8ac1d0-4c48-4420-9465-66f4ba1904cf\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Students are expected to utilize research methods from professional design practice and other related fields in their design process; to make judgments about the appropriateness of specific research methods and strategies for the specific nature of a design task; and to refine or develop research design methods as necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students are expected to utilize research and design methods and tools that are appropriate to supporting collaborative work, engaging human-subject research, and addressing complex problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While addressing the potential for economic, social, cultural, and technological impacts of their designs, students are expected to conceive and produce studio work that includes speculative and propositional as well as concrete, functional solutions which are three-dimensionally prototyped.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students are expected to demonstrate verbal, oral and visual communication skills throughout their design development process including interpersonal, formal and informal presentations and critiques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students are expected to demonstrate an advanced professional competence in a specific design specialization or depth of knowledge through a significant body of design work associated with studios and their final project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students are expected to use analytical tools, design processes, technologies, and information gathered from primary and secondary sources to develop concepts, reveal patterns of information, create rationales for specific design solutions or within projects, and to engage in both solution development and evaluation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evidence for each outcome will be collected from the MID students\u2019 studio project reviews and final project proposals, reports and presentations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

master\u2019s level, the industrial design studio experience centers both on design methodology and intellectual inquiry. The studio courses require that students synthesize knowledge gained both through instruction and investigation, and apply that knowledge in the development of ideas and the task of problem-solving. The master\u2019s level student is expected to demonstrate a mastery of subject matter in their field, both in practical application and scholarly investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial design graduate students also have the opportunity to participate in industry collaborative studio projects sponsored by corporate sponsors such as Bosch Siemens Home Appliance, Eastman Chemical, JLG, and Bioventus. Sponsored projects provide students with the experience of designing in a real-world setting and interacting with professional designers, engineers, and business executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are expected to maintain regular attendance in the graduate studio. Your presence in the space affords you the opportunity to interact with your peers and to immerse yourself in the graduate program. You are expected to maintain a professional workspace that is populated with current, process work yet clean. Faculty may schedule periodic visits, critiques, or presentations during these times. Students holding teaching assistantships must work around this schedule in the execution of their duties and notify faculty of assignments that take them out of the studio space during regular hours.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one-column is-text wp-block-ncst-link-list\">\n        <ul class=\"link-list__container\">\n      \n<li class=\"ncst-component__bold-link-container
