What are the employment directions of product design major?

Product design is a design major, mainly in new energy, internet, electronic technology and other industries, engaged in product managers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers and so on.

Product design is a design major, which is an innovative design activity that integrates and optimizes the function, structure, modeling, color and packaging of products with the background of contemporary industrialization and informatization, and by comprehensively applying scientific and technological achievements and knowledge of aesthetics, engineering, psychology and economics.

This major is mainly to cultivate all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and aesthetics, master the basic theories, knowledge and methods of product design, have the basic abilities and skills of product design, environmental facility design and exhibition design, understand the frontier of this major, and have the professional quality of social responsibility, innovative spirit and team consciousness, which can serve the fields of product design, exhibition design, interactive design and facility design.

During my college years, the courses I studied mainly included: product design methodology, market research and product planning, product design, system design, product color design, design procedure and analysis, innovative rapid design and so on.

Employment analysis of product design major 1. It is difficult for product design to favor artistic employment.

Product design is a very good major, but employment in China is not optimistic. Most of this major is biased towards art, and many people regard product design as an art painting major, so they can't learn anything practical at school. Most of them are employed by product design companies. There are far more factories than product design companies.

2. The product design of factory recruitment is completely different from that of university.

The product design, product design engineer, product structure design and product modeling design recruited by the factory design department are all biased towards the mechanical direction. Enterprise product design is not the same as product design or industrial design in colleges and universities. In enterprises, product design tends to be mechanical, knowing mechanical drawing, mainstream three-dimensional design software UG or CATIA or PROE, mainstream two-dimensional design software CAD, material forming, mold, processing and so on. However, the product design or industrial design offered by colleges and universities tends to be creative and hand-drawn, which is far from meeting the requirements of enterprises.

It is difficult to find a job in product design or industrial design in colleges and universities. Although colleges and universities know that the courses offered by schools are far from the requirements of enterprises, they are also improving the courses. Some colleges and universities have also added some mechanical specialty contents, which, after all, are superficial and cannot meet the needs of enterprises. Some universities put product design in department of mechanical engineering, so you must know the mechanical and structural parts of product design, otherwise nothing can be realized in reality. Because many enterprises' modeling design, product design and industrial design are designers who are proficient in UG/CATIA/PROE, especially in the domestic automobile industry, many modeling schemes are produced by taking some photos at large-scale auto shows or selling cars against the market, all of which are mechanical.

After graduation, students can be graphic designers in the graphic design departments of advertising companies and design companies; Art editor, Graphic Design Department of TV stations, newspapers, magazines, large websites and other media units; As a graphic designer in the planning department of enterprises and institutions.
