The graduate first-year transportation design experience is divided into two semester-length studios: one interior-focused, one exterior-focused. Students taking an interior-focused studio in the fall semester will then take an exterior focused studio in the winter semester, and vice versa. In both interior and exterior studios, students will be encouraged to pursue a user-center design approach. Incoming graduate transportation design students will be introduced to rendering and modeling techniques integral to the transportation design process. Course content may be reinforced through field trips to local design studios and factories. Students prepare a comprehensive presentation at the end of semester which includes critical self-assessment and reflection of their developmental strengths and needs.
