Further, the ICC collaborates with leading schools, colleges, universities, and training entities to deliver customized deployments of the ICC’s industry-relevant curriculum. The team at the ICC also delivers workshops, seminars, keynote presentations, staff training, professional continuing education, all centered on creativity and design thinking. Lastly, the ICC delivers selective design and ideation services to professional clients who have a desire to partner with education. Professional Partner History Throughout its history the ICC has delivered ideation, rendering, design development, marketing and architectural space design services for a wide variety of corporate clients including Tremco Barrier Solutions, Honda Powersports, Honda Automotive, General Motors, Mettler Toledo, Bob Evans, P&G, Little Tikes and more. Academic Services and History The ICC's largest academic partner is Cedarville University. CU and the ICC collaborate to deliver a four-year, bachelors in Industrial and Innovative Design, which includes interior and exterior architectural space, consumer product and transportation design. The major is a fully accredited degree program, and students graduate with their degree from Cedarville, even though they spend their last two years of the major inside of the ICC's working design studios in Powell, Ohio, a northwest suburb of Columbus. Three students, Cedarville University sophomores Laura Backer, Gabe Pyle and Mark Taylor, declared the major in spring of 2010, entered the program as juniors in the fall of 2010, and were also the first graduates of the program in 2012. "Jeremiah House" on Cedarville's main campus in Cedarville, Ohio, hosted the first set of classes in the fall of 2010 and spring of 2011, before the ICC secured space in the former design studios of global giants Richardson Smith Design, and Fitch Design, on Manning Parkway in north Columbus. In the fall of 2011, the junior and senior classes met for the first time in the ICC's newly remodeled studio, which at the time was approximately 6,000 square feet. With growing classes sizes, the ICC continued to add model shops, conference space, digital lab space and support facilities to reach its current size of just over 13,500 square feet at the time of writing (2015). The Industrial and Innovative Design major at Cedarville University accepts approximately 25 new students annually, with a goal of a total of 100 students spread between freshman and senior years. The ICC was established in 2001, and incorporated in 2004 in the State of Ohio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Center for Creativity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
