*''''''The IDSA at JMU is an interdisciplinary group that meets weekly to organizes workshops, keynote speaker events, collaborative design projects, and trips to conferences. At its core, the IDSA is empowering industrial design students to make an impact on their community with their innovative design skills. Many are active in other groups that are altering campus or have personal pursuits in design and entrepreneurship. With the industrial design concentration now becoming a full major and the number of students increasing, it is becoming a more vital part of the track for industrial designers at JMU.

'''Architectural Design Club'''
