The rapid emergence and expansion of smart products is increasing the demand for a new wave of designers and product manufacturers.

In this major, you will develop the creative and technical skills needed to transform your ideas into cutting-edge creations, and learn to design concepts through user engagement and collaboration.

You’ll study your craft in our design studio and progress your digital modelling and fabrication skills in our new School of Design and Built Environment’s makerspace, where your design can come to life.

The course offers industry expertise and practical, hands-on learning, and you’ll be encouraged to exhibit an innovative approach to your work.

When you graduate, you will be well placed to work in emerging fields of contemporary industrial design such as inclusive design, the internet of things, smart living applications and broader smart product design.

Design Innovation and Fabrication is offered as part of the Bachelor of Design. You will be able to enhance your degree by selecting to study either two additional minors or one minor and four elective units to support your career goals.
