Bachelor of Science (BS) Design students will develop a strong foundation in human-centered design abilities and the mathematics, science, and engineering concepts needed to support it. Courses in the Design Core sequence draw on the behavioral and social sciences in addition to multiple disciplines within engineering. They foreground ethics, implications, and understanding of design history and justice. Students then select two focus areas: a Methods Depth and a Domain Focus. Methods Depth areas allow students to choose a set of mediums of making to explore more fully. Domain Focus areas enable students to explore challenges in a different field where designers can have an impact, and where we observe increasing academic and professional opportunities for students and alumni equipped with interdisciplinary skills and awareness. In their Capstone Projects, students learn to scope and execute design work that integrates their chosen methods and domain depths. 

This degree prepares students for postgraduate study in design, careers as designers in public and private sector institutions, entrepreneurial endeavors, and perhaps most importantly, careers that do not yet exist.
