Groundbreaking innovation in product design has the potential to radically alter our everyday lives. With your bachelor's degree from Ferris State University, you will be ready to take your ideas from conceptual sketch to completed design and make your mark on the world.
Focusing on all facets of the design process, our Product Design Engineering Technology program will provide you with the versatile design skills that apply to a wide range of industries. You will begin with conceptual drawings and move through the creation of complex layouts, prototypes and the integration of manufacturing principles into your design. You will have all of the expertise you need to turn your next brilliant idea into a reality.
The program encompasses the third and fourth years of college study and culminates in a baccalaureate degree. You must complete an approved two-year associate in applied science degree within the College of Engineering Technology or an equivalent associate in applied science degree from another institution.
