Industrial designers are responsible for the concept, the design and the details that are worked out before the manufacturing process of any product can begin. They work behind the scenes to determine the features, appearance, materials, and ergonomics of the many products—from toasters to cell phones—that we use every day.
At Carleton University, our unique and internationally respected Bachelor of Industrial Design (BID) program blends studies in design with applied sciences (such as math and physics) and the social sciences (like psychology and business). We focus on the process—from concept and design—through to the manufacturing and the everyday use of the product. There is also an emphasis on the context and social purpose of design.
In addition to the main program, you will have opportunities to complement your studies with a minor in areas such as business, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.
Beginning in the very first year, you will learn design processes and methods by completing creative projects. Over the course of the program, you will move progressively from academic studies to more intensive design studio sessions, from theory to practice, while undertaking increasingly complex design projects. You will work on drawings, models, mock-ups and simulated products while learning about materials, marketing, environmental issues, users’ needs, and user testing. Much of your work will take place in team situations.
In your final year, you will participate in the School’s Annual Graduation Exhibition that showcases the work of all our students and, in particular, highlights the projects undertaken by fourth-year graduates. The exhibition attracts visitors and employers from different areas throughout the industry.
Industrial designers usually work on teams to bring their unique perspective to the solution of problems. At Carleton, we simulate the real work environment of the industrial design field by providing many opportunities to work in team situations. This allows you to:
Ranked amongst the best in North America, our on-campus facilities include:
Due to its location in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, Carleton University provides you with resources for research, study and work placements that few can match. These include:
Industrial designers are the specialists who determine the features, appearance, materials, and ergonomics of the many products we use daily—from toasters and cell phones to sporting goods and tools. Industrial designers play a vital role in product development teams to ensure the connection between a product and its end-user.
Are you smart and creative? Do you enjoy solving problems? Are you interested in drawings and designing three-dimensional objects? Are you curious about how things work? Are you keen to design products that are useful to people? If so, Industrial Design may be the course of studies for you.
As a student in Carleton’s Industrial Design (ID) program, you will learn by doing—both inside and outside the classroom.
Co-operative education placements usually begin after the third year. You could work with leading Canadian design firms or design-oriented manufacturers and gain hands-on experience in real-life projects.
Internships can provide a minimum of 12 weeks of experience as a design intern.
You are required to submit a portfolio that demonstrates creativity and aptitude for the study of industrial design. Your portfolio should include:
Creative work may include freehand or computer-generated drawings, technical drawings, paintings, graphics and photographs, and images of 3-dimensional work such as sculptures, models, renovations, furniture, fashion items, etc.
Attending an information session at the School is also recommended.
Carleton Industrial Design graduates are well-prepared to join any professional design team. Carleton graduates can be found working as design entrepreneurs and consultants and/or as members of design teams in companies such as Bata, Teknion, Lee Valley Tools, Mitel, Canada Post, Mountain Equipment Co-op, and Umbra.
Industrial Design graduates can also opt to continue their studies by completing a Master of Design (MDes) at Carleton University.
Carleton University, Canada’s Capital University, is a dynamic and innovative university with a strong commitment to teaching, research and learning. Our academic programs, campus community, capital location and global possibilities provide countless opportunities for learning to happen both inside and outside of the classroom.
Carleton University is located in Ottawa, a G7 capital city, which offers opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. Known primarily as the seat of Canada’s federal government, Ottawa is that and so much more. It is home to over 130 embassies and high commissions from around the world, as well as numerous national organizations and museums. A large percentage of Canada’s major medical, clinical and life sciences research centres are located in the Ottawa area, as well as a technology industry comprised of over 1,900 companies.
Ottawa is also one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, with a great number of neighbourhood parks and tranquil green spaces, waterways that wind through the city, and historical and architectural landmarks. The magnificent Gatineau Park, which features 165 km of hiking trails, is located in the National Capital Region.
Situated on a beautiful campus just minutes from downtown, Carleton has earned a reputation as one of the foremost universities in the fields of international affairs, commerce, journalism, and high technology. The wide range of nationally and internationally renowned programs offer the flexibility to choose the degree that suits your interests.
The best learning environments unite theory and practice. Research shows that experiential learning contributes to student engagement, deeper learning, improved academic outcomes, and enhanced work and life skills. At Carleton, we strive to provide students with real-life experiences that bring the classroom to the world and the world to the classroom. We emphasize hands-on research, community engagement, work experience and immersive learning.
Many of our programs feature co-op or practicum options, allowing students to develop their skills in a workplace environment. We also encourage undergraduate research, entrepreneurship initiatives and Community Service Learning. Having the paid "real-world" experience serves to complement all that is taught in the classroom and opens doors of opportunity upon completion of the undergraduate degree.
Carleton has a long history of attracting international students to our welcoming and inclusive campus. Today the university has approximately 4,500 international students from 150 countries, creating a diverse and supportive academic community. We are committed to giving back through education while pursuing contributions to the common good. These founding values are at the heart of the university’s focus on research, community partnerships and teaching excellence.
