Transportation Design

Mohamed Outabachi

Detroit drives the auto industry. Our graduates drive the design.

The CCS Transportation Design program has spent 60 years becoming the best.

This century’s wave of ingenuity brought with it autonomous vehicles and mobility-forward design, and we educate the designers who are leading this charge and whose influence in the transportation industry is unmatched anywhere.

CCS alumni swell the ranks of every major car design studio and nearly all the Tier 1 auto suppliers. Our graduates go on to design vehicles and interiors in studios here in Detroit, nationally and around the globe.
