This specialization covers all the necessary classes to obtain a well-rounded education in engineering, such as chemistry, calculus, physics, and materials science, but leaves a significant number of courses for a solid framework in industrial design. This approach gives students a strong foundation of industrial design studio practices, and a unique understanding of fabrication methods, presentation skills, human factors, and concept development methods that will make them uniquely qualified to address new challenges in the field of engineering and design.

This diversification gives the student an opportunity to delve into various subject matters while still having an engineering background as the foundation of their education. As a result of students pursuing this path, it will give the student a unique way of thinking in academia. This kind of intellectual diversity allows the students to think differently, open their horizons to differing ideas and how to apply those ideas
