The certificate of achievement in industrial design is intended for students who wish to enter the workforce directly in an industrial design field without transferring to a four-year university program. The certificate of achievement prepares students for a career as an industrial design intern, modeler or designer offering technical support, design, and modeling and fabrication assistance in an industrial design office.

Industrial design interns and technicians prepare models, presentation drawings, computer models and renderings for the design and production of everyday objects and tools, household products, soft goods, packaging and transportation design.

To earn a certificate of achievement in industrial design, students must complete each of the required courses required with a “C” grade or higher and maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher.
