Introduction to Industrial Design
Tuesday, January 25, 2011 <>

**Topic overview:**
In today's class we are fortunate to have a guest lecturer from Carnegie Mellon's School of Design, Professor Alex Cheek, who will introduce some fundamental concepts in Industrial Design and illustrate some of the tools and techniques designers use to make products useful, usable, and desirable.

===**Preparation for class:** === There are no required readings for today's class, though the material covered should be very useful as we move into the later sections of the course and we begin to design and prototype product ideas so be sure to attend, listen carefully, and learn from Professor Cheek.
