What it isIndustrial design is the practice of creating products and objects that people use every day — from furniture and tools to consumer electronics — by combining aesthetics, function, and how they're actually made. You'll learn to sketch, model, and prototype while understanding materials, manufacturing, and user needs. This program suits people who enjoy solving practical problems visually and want to bridge the gap between art and engineering.Industrial Design teaches you how to plan and shape physical products — from phones to furniture to medical devices — so they work well, look good, and can actually be made. You'll combine design thinking with engineering and manufacturing knowledge to understand both the creative and practical sides of bringing products to life. The co-op term lets you work in industry while you study, so you apply what you learn to real projects.Management and Organizational Studies teaches you the fundamentals of how to run businesses and lead teams. You'll study accounting, finance, marketing, and how organizations use technology to operate effectively. This is a broad business program rather than a specialized professional accounting or finance degree, and it suits people who want flexible career options across multiple business functions rather than committing early to a single specialization.
