      Certificate Programs in Industrial Design

      A certificate program is a course of study that allows students to gain deeper knowledge in a specialized area. These programs typically require a set number of courses covering a variety of in-depth topics and sometimes allow students to tailor the course selection to their area of interest.

      Industrial design is an interdisciplinary field that uses technology and art to improve product design in commercial applications. Designers often specialize in one product type, such as furniture, and then focus on optimizing function, aesthetics, and production costs. What is a certificate in industrial design? It is a course of study that provides students with the tools they need to work in the field. Required topics may include computer-aided design (CAD), product design, and product development. Courses often heavily rely on computers for design, image rendering, and modeling.

      The skills a student gains while earning a certificate in industrial design will probably qualify them for positions with increased responsibility and increased salary. The computer skills, in particular, may open up many career options even beyond industrial design. Students also gain important skills in communication and collaboration.

      The cost of an industrial design certificate program is often broken down by course, as it is common for students to pursue certificates on a part-time basis. Absolute price will vary depending on the school and its location.

      Earning a certificate in industrial design prepares students for entry into the industrial design field, or it may serve as preparation for a bachelor’s or graduate degree in the same area. Certificate holders may be eligible for technician positions, although some employers consider a bachelor’s degree the minimum qualification for entry-level positions.
