you can still get a job as an auto design even with an industrial degree...just letting you know

i heard you could be a product designer with a transportation major but it's hard to be a transportation designer with an industrial design major.
I'm puzzled. Can you explain more?

I haven't heard that...well a car is a product in a sense that its purchased and people use it (the interior like cel said)

I don't get the last one because in industrial design you cover trans,its not indept like an trans exclusive degree program...

Hi!

From my point of view, it would be better to become first an Industrial/Product Designer and then take the Transportation/Car design course.

Styding Industrial Design gives you a wider perspective of the world that surrounds you, making easier for you to understand the environment and the relations between the human being and the products arround; once you understand this, it's gonna be easier to undersand the particular world of "car design"...

Hope it helps!

damn..
then you guys probably will recommend me to finish my major in ID and then transfer to accd rather than to transfer to accd after just one year in ID?

ACCD hardly gives transfer credits in studio/art classes. I heard about a present AUDI designer who had to take every class all over again even though he transferred from CCS.

hey friends...this year i may get into product design course,is it possible to study transportation design or automotive design,after the completion of product design ?

I hav also completed 3yr diploma in AutoMobile Engineering...

Hi,

According to what I've seen, it is actually possible to study transportation/automotive design after the completion of the product design course.

If you take a look at the requirements of the schools that offer these transportation design programmes, you will see that they usually accept a BA in Industrial Design, and similar courses...

masters in product design is it worth the effort !! ...or degree in Product design should be fine ?

Yes you are able to continue your studies at ACCD for Transportation Design after your Product studies. But I hear they are changing the curriculum so there are not as many similarities anymore for both Product and Transportation majors.

Also isn't the Canadian dollar worth more than U.S. dollar? So it might actually be cheaper to come to the U.S. to study?

krapuu,

If you decide to transfer to ACCD after one year of ID is really up to you.

You need to get your portfolio together and have them take a look at it to see what your chances are.

Remember that you will have to stay at ACCD or CCS for four years because your studio classes may not transfer. Your basic classes such as, english, history, etc. should transfer.

So, if you stay at your current school for four yrs. Then you still would have to go to ACCD for four more years for trans. That's eight yrs!

Even if you are not selected into the trans program, both CCS and ACCD have good product design programs. ACCD is better for product design.
