<p>I am interested in the designing of technical products such as cell phones, mp3 players, computers/laptops, and cars. I want to be able to design the products that are produced by companies such as, Apple or Dell.</p>
<p>So my question is, what major has to do with the design and creation of technical products?</p>
<p>Sorry for asking such a vague question, but I appreciate any help</p>
<p>thanks, grantl345</p>
<p>Industrial Design?</p>
<p>Yes, Industrial Design (although I’d say the “insides” of those products would be more of an electrical engineering, computer science and/or mechanical engineering major).</p>
<p>Take a look at these websites to see more about some ID programs. </p>
<p>[Industrial</a> Design Program > School of Design > Carnegie Mellon University](<a href=“http://www.design.cmu.edu/show_program.php?s=1&t=4]Industrial”>http://www.design.cmu.edu/show_program.php?s=1&t=4)
[RISD</a> : Rhode Island School of Design : INDUSTRIAL DESIGN](<a href=“http://www.risd.edu/industrial.cfm]RISD”>http://www.risd.edu/industrial.cfm)
[School</a> of Design](<a href=“http://www.daap.uc.edu/design/]School”>http://www.daap.uc.edu/design/)</p>
<p>These are just a sample. I believe there are quite a few colleges with ID majors.</p>
<p>Univ of Cincinnatti even has a “Industrial Design: Trans Track”, which I assume has to do with cars, among other transportation-related products.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot Austinhills!</p>

<p>The best schools in industrial design are pretty much Cincinnati (co-op) and Art Center College of Design.</p>
