<p>With that program you get a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but transcript would say "has completed requirements of product design".</p>

<p>I've seen mechanical engineering programs and industrial design programs, but none that really mix the two like this. It's also a great program because they have connects to some of the biggest design firms in California, so you wouldn't be placed into a regular engineering position, but instead more of an industrial design position.</p>

<p>However, to be realistic, I think at this point, its probably better to shoot for an Industrial Design degree somewhere like NC State, VA Tech, or GA Tech, where they have strong engineering programs and then try to go for the Masters at Stanford.</p>
