University of Cincinnati Students Design Cars of TomorrowStudents in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning are taking part in a new major that could influence the future of automotive design.
The transportation design program, formally a sect of the industrial design major, gives students a chance to work with professional automotive designers while preparing for their careers,

"Sketching, sketching and more sketching," Brian Hillner, a fourth-year student in the program said.

I even brought in my cot from home into our studio so we have something to sleep on other than the hard table top."
A Red Bull refrigerator in the classroom is refilled by the company for free a couple of times a year, providing students with the necessary boost they need to work late into the night.
