The BFA in Product Design cultivates the technical and critical skills needed to design products that enhance human abilities and our relationships to the natural and built environments. In their final year of study, BFA Product Design students undertake a Capstone project. The Capstone is a comprehensive, independent design brief that integrates key areas of skill and learning from the Product Design curriculum. The Capstone proposes objects and systems that address contemporary and speculative future realities including sustainability, manufacturing/labor, social justice and technological change while exploring materials, fabrication, aesthetics, and social engagement in both local and global contexts.
