Bachelor of Applied Technology – Industrial Design - Humber College

Our Program

Check out how an Industrial Design graduate learned the skills needed to get a job.

Humber College's Industrial Design degree program has a high placement rate in design-related fields.

Studio courses and design projects often involve corporate clients to ensure real-world relevancy. Students generate innovative ideas, work them into preliminary sketches and designs, and bring them to life through the creation of computer-generated three-dimensional models and prototypes.

Sketching skills are stressed throughout the program, along with a thorough foundation in 3D computer-aided design (CAD), both dimension-driven and surface-driven. Other courses include Ergonomic Principles, Design for Production, and Environmental Practices. Courses in the business stream of the degree include Marketing, Economics for Industrial Design, and Design Management.

Design competitions (such as the Chair Show and Rocket Show) provide exposure to the Toronto industrial design industry, and a paid 14-week work term after the sixth semester gives you a critical edge in job placement and future career advancement.

Many faculty continue to work in the industry, ensuring content is relevant and projects exceed industry standards.

"I chose to come to Humber because they offer a diverse variety of design options. My professors helped me to become a better analyst and to explore various solutions to design challenges. My placement gave me the experience to be get a job at Bombardier, where I'm helping shape the future of the transportation industry."

INDU 1000	Industrial Design Method Industrial Design Method Course Code: INDU 1000 This course covers industrial design from its origins in ancient artifacts, tools, craftwork, furniture, and flatware to the machine ethic of the twentieth century art movements such as Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modernism and Post Modern that have influenced today?s products. Each period had its technological base, attendant theoretical base and methodology grounded in the social, political and commercial imperatives of its day. The major construct in the equation is creative thought expressed through utilitarian objects. The course focuses on contemporary stages in product development both creative and derived from the scientific method in which problem recognition and statement is followed by inquiry and idea generation, which renders several alternatives to be discussed, tested and evaluated.
INDU 1001	Visual Communication 1 Visual Communication 1 Course Code: INDU 1001 This course introduces and will explore concepts in communication through visual means. Students will learn the fundamentals of drawing principles such as perspective, quality of line, construction, and accurate scale. The main objective of Visual Communication is to build a practical foundation in three-dimensional visualization through freehand sketching of contemporary designs. The students will utilize rapid drawing techniques and learn skills in visual communications and drawing in order to present concepts and generate ideas. The only instrument used is ball-point pen, no erasers, set squares, rulers or straight edges are used to assist in the freehand drawing process. The students will gain competence in communicating and presenting design proposals in an effective manner.

The topic is selected within the framework of the curriculum, which stipulates the involvement of two expert advisors in the field who are willing to help advise the student as the project is developed. The development of the thesis project is to be recorded with annotated sketches; research that is categorized edited and referenced with reference technical drawings. This advanced course enables students to showcase their interests and learning through informed project choice, in-depth research, project management, academic and professional interaction, and verification and proof of their design?s merit. Thesis is intended to be the centerpiece project of any graduates portfolio and the capstone achievement in their undergraduate studies in Industrial Design.
INDU 4003	Design Research Method and Analysis Design Research Method and Analysis Course Code: INDU 4003 This course covers the methods of research as applied to supporting a design solution. In a fast-developing profession that is innovation-centered, industrial designers require practice in diverse research methods. Research is a tool which is used to inform design. Specific research techniques are presented in the context of design methodology. Research methods introduced and applied to a research topic include reviews of the literature, survey techniques (both qualitative and quantitative techniques), user observation, health and product safety among others. Several case studies are examined using specific research techniques culminating in a final project linked with Senior-Level Thesis Project 1.
