October Exhibits & Displays at Schumann Library

Posted on by cherryc

Fall 2024 is well underway, and there’s a lot to do on campus and in your community! Here’s what our Exhibits & Displays Team has put together for the month of October: 

  • Prototypes from the Industrial Design program's Design Through Making course sequence.

Industrial Design: Design Through Making, Guarracino Family Gallery 

This exhibit features a collection of prototypes created during the Design Through Making course sequence. In this sequence, Industrial Design majors study 3D realization and rapid prototyping, creating one-of-a-kind models and prototypes that can be used to develop future products.
