In short

The School of Industrial Design at Carleton University in Ottawa opened in September 1973 under its founding director, the Dutch industrial designer Wim Gilles. Its four-year Bachelor of Industrial Design is built around design studios, with courses in mass-production technology, ergonomics, form and colour, psychology, physics, mathematics, economics and marketing, an industrial internship and a major final design project. Since 2008 the school has also offered a two-year research-based Master of Design.
