Overview

Key features

In this intensive, 11-month program, Design Engineering students use creativity, analytical reasoning and research skills to produce work that responds to small- and large-scale challenges.

You work primarily in studios and shops, including a well-equipped maker space for prototyping, and form strong connections within a close-knit cohort of designers and engineers.

Additionally, you engage in project-based work with professionals in museum education, healthcare safety and aviation design, among other fields.

Rhode Island School of Design students also benefit from the complementary strengths of RISD and Brown, neighboring world-class institutions on Providence’s East Side.

Close academic ties make it easy for you to broaden your knowledge through elective coursework or access to campus resources.
