Graduate Certificate Programs in Industrial and Product Design

Stuart Weitzman School of Design 102 Meyerson Hall 210 South 34th Street Philadelphia, PA 19104.

The certificate in Integrated Product Design makes a focus on product design feasible for students who are interested in the field from a wide range of disciplines. Jointly offered by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Wharton and the Weitzman School of Design, the IPD certificate certifies that students have had additional experience with an interdisciplinary, human-centered design process for developing new product innovations. Students enrolled in the certificate will be exposed to design thinking, have the opportunity to design at different scales and scopes, prototype and iterate distinct executions of their ideas, address manufacturing concerns, design enabling technologies, consider the implications of financial models on their product design, and develop business strategies.

This is a graduate and post-graduate only certificate for students who are already enrolled in graduate education at Weitzman School, Engineering, or Wharton and who are in good academic standing.

This work plan should be included in the personal statement section of the application. The certificate must be completed at the same time as the enrolled graduate or post-graduate degree program and cannot be pursued as a stand-alone certificate.

Apply for the IPD certificate (Engineering, Design, and Wharton students).

Product Design Innovation.

You'll learn to navigate the complex ecosystem of design, business, and engineering, thinking how existing products could be improved and what future game-changing products could look like.

Online Applications are always open, with rolling admission cycles.

Comfort zones and encourage innovative thinking in product design. while building product loyalty.

The application of these skills to design challenges.

Across both courses in the Product Design Innovation certificate, students will learn design principles and techniques for product development that can be applied to tangible products, services, experiences, and related systems. The coursework challenges students to apply their learning in the context of research, sketching, model making, user testing, and presentation. Students will use traditional design skills as they visualize and represent design concepts and solutions. They'll consider holistic product offerings that span UI UX, physical products, and human activity as they move through the coursework.

Gain skills in techniques and applications to create tangible products and product features.

This course is an introduction to design principles for product development and also instructs students in techniques and applications for tangible products. Building on the general principles introduced in the course, the course will give students the opportunity to apply their learning in the context of tangible products (research, sketching, model making, user testing and presentation).Students experience the use of traditional design skills (drawing, mockups and model making) in the visualization and representation of design concepts and solutions. This course not only introduces design innovation, but also provides training in a physical product context so that students can hone skills and techniques needed to visualize and represent product concepts efficiently and accurately.

The relationship among design, product development, and business is explored with class projects, readings, discussions, and the analysis of artifacts and process.Through case histories, lectures and a variety of hands-on exercises, students are exposed to design thinking and practice.

Course 2: 49-601, Innovation of Services Experiences.

Learn techniques to design services and experiences, easily distinguishing and shifting between different perspectives on the same design problem space.

Design holistic product offerings that span UI UX, physical products, and human activity.

Gain fluency to articulate offerings that are made up of systems of products, services and other components.

This course will define and study services, experiences, and related systems.Students will also learn the basics of designing services and experiences. Innovators who focus on these areas create new offerings for businesses with a primary focus on the quality of the human interactions and experiences that are often engrained in the heart of functional and or tangible products. Essentially, this course will push students to consider holistic product offerings that span UI UX, physical products, and human activity.In this course, students will first study the nature of services and experiences and then work in small project teams to analyze leading design solutions as well as to create new ones. Service and experience design frameworks will also be used both for the analysis of existing offerings as well as to propose innovative solutions.

The learning will take place via lectures, studio projects, and verbal and written exposition. Students will be working in familiar and unfamiliar forms including concepts for products, documents, events, spaces, activities, scripts, and software. Classwork will be done individually and in teams.By the end of this course, students should be able to do the following:Easily distinguish and shift between different perspectives on the same design problem space, leverage service, and experience innovation frameworks to explain how an offering unfolds for people, speak articulately offerings that are made up of systems of products, services, and other components.

I attended one webinar hosted by a panel of 4 CMU alumni, which changed my entire perspective. For me, it was not only advancing my career, but taking the skills I currently have and building on them to be a impactful product leader.
