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.
Multidisciplinary Team's Unravl Device is Transformative
A Standout Innovation at the Fall 2023 Capstone Design Expo
The Unravl Device, a breakthrough in haircare, debuted at Georgia Tech's Fall 2023 Capstone Design Expo and was recognized among the Best Overall projects out of 129 teams. Created by a team of mechanical, computer engineers, and industrial design students, this tool streamlines the unbraiding process, reduces time by 25%, and lessens the physical strain for stylists, thereby helping prevent repetitive strain injuries such as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
