You'll be guided by Monash academics, practising industrial designers and top researchers as you learn to use design as a problem-solving tool in hands-on, practical studios.

In our industrial design studios you'll be introduced to the fundamental principles of understanding and controlling 3D form. You'll build your knowledge of how things work and understand more clearly the processes of iteration, refinement and manufacturing. You'll learn the tools and techniques to transform your ideas into prototypes with moving parts and realistic details and have access to the latest 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC milling tools, thermoformers (plastic moulding) and a wide range of traditional wood and metalworking facilities.

Group design projects will teach you how to think like an industrial designer, developing the strategic skills to identify design problems and how to work your way through the design process. Working with a range of industry clients on real projects, you will gain first-hand experience of professional practice and build a folio of work that will support your entry into a design career.
