Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA)
On the local scale, IDSA at Georgia Tech caters directly to students, providing both an integral link to the professional society and a fun, social outlet for students through valuable events and programs such as portfolio workshops, sketch nights, and alumni networking.
Interaction Design Association (IxDA)
IxDA Georgia Tech is a chapter of the Interaction Design Association, a global network dedicated to the professional practice of interaction design: designing the integration of digital content into people’s lives with a definite interest in form and a main focus on behavior. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re a designer, engineer, programmer, or just a student.
Overview:
Industrial Design is an art that operates at the intersection of design, technology, and business. It combines Georgia Tech’s rigorous scientific approach with design traditions of free-wheeling conceptual development. Integration with computer science classes, teaching, and research labs motivate students to solve problems and imagine design solutions that anticipate the future.
