Industrial Design is an art that operates at the intersection of design, technology, and business. It combines Georgia Tech's rigorous scientific approach with design traditions of free-wheeling conceptual development. Integration with computer science classes, teaching, and research labs motivate students to solve problems and imagine design solutions that anticipate the future.
