In short

The School of Design of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh offers a Bachelor of Design with tracks in products, communications and design for environments, as well as master's degrees and a PhD in Transition Design. The Product Design track teaches students to translate design thinking into models and prototypes, drawing on both hand-crafted and industrially made objects, with access to an Advanced 3D Prototyping Laboratory equipped with traditional power tools as well as laser cutters, 3D printers and CNC milling machines. The school states that in 1934 Carnegie Tech launched the first degree-granting industrial design programme in the United States, which the Product Design track continues today.
