Industrial Design at Griffith University's Gold Coast campus brings engineering and design together through a shared approach to learn through making, creative thinking, digital media and digital manufacturing. This innovative 3 year full time program enables students to develop advanced 3D computer modelling skills and to utilize advanced technologies, including 3D printing, right from their first year of study as part of their design project work. The experienced teaching team provides an international curriculum, preparing students to take advantage of international collaborations and work opportunities overseas. The program promotes cross-cultural understanding for the industrial designer to operate effectively and empathetically in a global work environment. Industrial Design graduates from this degree will be 'creative engineers' who conceptualize products and have the skills to bring them to life. Graduates will be creative thinkers who have a thorough understanding of the digital future in addition to a good understanding of engineering principles.This program will be rolled out over three years with first year courses available in 2014, second year courses available in 2015 and third year courses available in 2016. Students eligible for credit may not be able to commence or to study full-time, depending on the amount of credit granted.
