Programs like Brown-RISD Dual Degree or CMU B.X.A.

Also in general GMU welcomes non-majors in the art/design courses and has varied entrepreneurial supports for engineers and artists to work together on projects.

He wants to do mechanical engineering and some kind of design, maybe theater or furniture or industrial. Something that works in 3D.

Thank you! It looks like they do have a dual degree option!

I like the Cooper Union suggestion.

Case Western has a beautiful new theater and design building. My DS is double majoring in that and electrical engineering and loves it.

Does WPI have any arts majors?

Maybe check out Industrial Design at Univ of Cincinnati? Not a dual degree but looks like a 5-year program, possibly due to co-ops?

I agree with the last poster. My son did CMU BXA and the degree ended up being irrelevant for him. He regrets not having done just CS as the art part of the program was tremendously underwhelming and didn’t help train him at all. That could just be CMU’s art school though. Probably unrealistic to pursue both and certainly wouldn’t help in their career.

Tufts and Northeastern.

Industrial engineering?

Can Brown deliver its new “design engineering” —not yet ABET accredited—without RISD faculty stopping by? Similarly can CMU college of design force some analytical rigor (no need to be ABET accredited but present coursework is not tech heavy—CMU is tech known though—but mor a BA degree with a bit of CAD rhino

So both have some gaps..
