Design Focused on Technology
Industrial design at Georgia Tech aims to fortify the designer’s role in humanizing connections between people and technology. Through purposeful integration of aesthetic, functional, utilitarian, economic, sustainable, social, and cognitive considerations, our curriculum prepares the new design generation with the tools to develop thoughtful solutions to the challenges of the 21st Century.
As part of a top-ranked research institute, our programs offer an evidence-based approach to design and valuable experiential learning opportunities. Through eleven research labs, fabrication and prototyping shops, design studios, and multidisciplinary collaborations, students gain exposure to practical skills valuable to many industries.

The Bredendieck Awards
Learning from the Bauhaus
As founding director of Georgia Tech’s industrial design program in 1952, Hin Bredendieck's legacy is deeply woven into the School’s design values and meaningful student outcomes.
The Bredendieck Awards provide an opportunity for design students to showcase their talents, gain recognition for their work, and help shape the future of design. Awarded students will be recognized during the School of Industrial Design’s end-of-year Awards Ceremony, taking place alongside the end-of-semester Launchpad Student Design Showcase celebration.

Industrial Design Student Wins People’s Choice Award at 2023 InVenture Prize Competition
Julia Piña's Novela Lamp won the People's Choice Award and $5,000 after a public vote during the Inventure Prize on Wednesday night, which aired on Georgia Public Broadcasting. Her lamp is an interactive shadow puppet lamp that allows children to tell stories using puppets and scenes. It promotes imaginative play and fosters communication skill development through creative expression. Piña's venture has already engaged the attention of toy retailers.
Piña hopes to bring the Novela Lamp to homes worldwide, providing a fun and unplugged activity for parents to spend quality time with their children while encouraging creativity and imagination in the next generation of inventors, storytellers, and designers.
