Vision Statement
CCS’s Transportation Design program’s vision is to be the world’s most recognized educational institution for creating leaders and visionaries in tomorrow’s transportation ventures and industries.
Mission Statement
Our mission to define and teach the highest standards of design, aesthetics, traditional skills, and emerging digital technologies, all with an understanding of the global contexts in which their skills will be applied. In preparation for careers in a field undergoing rapid change, students will graduate with knowledge of sustainable practices, systems and technologies which can mitigate the impact of global warming and climate change. Principles of inclusive design and creative design thinking are also stressed, so that our communities are engaged in the process of co-creation of their built environment. In culmination of their studies, and experiences working directly with professional representatives from industry, students will be able to communicate their future transportation concepts visually in a clear and compelling professional portfolio and present it verbally in an interview or boardroom.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLO)
Upon graduation, students in the BFA Transportation Design program will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to create their own vision of aesthetically sensitive and original transportation design concepts in a clear and compelling way and compile this work into a professional level portfolio for use in gaining internships and employment.
- Employ crosscutting skills from research and problem definition to translation of their 2D sketches into 3D physical and digital models with a high degree of resolution and craftsmanship.
- Research and identify emerging cultural and technical trends, and integrate them into designs that anticipate future human needs and experiences.
- Demonstrate competence in their application of technical manufacturing and ergonomic criteria in their designs, as well as the business considerations needed to bring their ideas to reality in the marketplace.
- Defend how they have given in depth consideration to how the human user will interact with and use their designs.
- Demonstrate leadership and teamwork through appropriate research, brainstorming methods, collaboration, design/concept execution and professional conduct.
- Incorporate consideration of the ecological, environmental and social impact of their design proposals in support of local and global sustainability.
