If it is science and engineering, there should be mechanical drawing, engineering mechanics, mechanical principles, machining methods and so on. These courses are basically not offered in art classes.
There are some schools in physics, but we haven't studied chemistry anyway. However, even those who study physical chemistry have low requirements for industrial design.
You should learn the most basic Marxist philosophy, economics, English, advanced mathematics, all these majors.
Learning content, in fact, you should know a general idea from the name of the course, that is, to teach you how to learn to do industrial design, how to cultivate innovative design thinking, how to refine an idea into a specific product, how to make this product be produced and then used by people.
If you want to be specific, you can say a few books. I'm not from Guangxi University, but I received the resumes of students who graduated from your school two years ago. To tell the truth, these students' abilities are quite average. If there is a problem with the teaching level of the school, we should pay more attention to off-campus communication after entering the school. After all, the schools with better industrial design in China are mainly in the east, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
The most important thing in this major is my extracurricular study. If you study in optical books, you can't do industrial design.
It is much more useful to find several industrial design forums on the Internet, look at the posts posted by predecessors, and find a company internship as soon as possible.
