The topic is selected within the framework of the curriculum, which stipulates the involvement of two expert advisors in the field who are willing to help advise the student as the project is developed. The development of the thesis project is to be recorded with annotated sketches; research that is categorized, edited and referenced with reference technical drawings. This advanced course enables students to showcase their interests and learning through informed project choice, in-depth research, project management, academic and professional interaction, and verification and proof of their design's merit. Thesis is intended to be the centerpiece project of any graduate's portfolio and the capstone achievement in their undergraduate studies in Industrial Design.
