Intro Industrial design is a very cool class. You get to be immersed in the tools and machines of the makerspace and woodshop. This spring, the class was all asynchronous. You watched videos and lessons that guided you through learning how to use all the equipment available to you. You complete a ton of mini projects, most of which results in something cool to take home with you. At the end you are given a chance to do a large final project, which can be basically anything you want. All self paced and graded on just completing all the differnt modules. Would highly recomend this class for anyone who wants a chance to work with there hands, do problem solving, and experience industrial design.

I have mixed feelings about this class. While on one hand, I enjoy working with my hands, I find the class to be tiresome. With projects for nearly every class, and it being self-paced, it is easy to fall behind. What’s more, congestion with the equipment can become an issue, as there is only so much. It is worthwhile if you want a base level of exposure to many ways of creation, but you can also get stuck doing tasks that feel less than exciting. I would recommend this course, but be sure you will enjoy spending 6 hours a week in class.

This course teaches you to use all the tools in the maker space. It is a great class for anyone trying to get into project work and learn something new. It is done at your own pass with work outside of class only if you fall behind. I would definitely take again Prof Houghton is very passionate and always willing to help.
