The Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development is endorsed by a trajectory of more than 15 years teaching studies on industrial design.
This is a program aimed at learning by facing the real challenges of industrial design, which encourages the creative and decisive attitude of students through active University-Business collaboration. The aim is to train a professional who is integral and has imagination and creativity. The areas of digital design, materials and manufacturing processes stand out. Research is a basic part of the studies and, together with internships in companies and multidisciplinary work, it allows students to develop their abilities and acquire specific competences, such as artistic expression, use of new technologies, ability for innovation and comprehensive management of a project.
Innovation is considered from all forums and institutions as an absolute necessity throughout the EU, and in our country in particular. Industrial Design is one of the tools to manage innovation in the company, and too often it has been approached lightly and with an excessively self-taught character. This has resulted in the lack of continuity of the activity and a certain suspicion on the part of the business community.
Read +The contribution of factors such as industrial design can be very useful for the competitiveness of our companies:
All the objects that surround us, from the packaging of a product to a mobile phone, including complex industrial processes, require the analysis and work of engineers in Industrial Design and Product Development.
The Engineer in Industrial Design and Product Development must know both the demand of the customer market and the offer of suppliers. In addition to designing or manufacturing in their own company, they must know how to integrate products and assemble a final ensemble, where not all the components have been manufactured in the company itself. Therefore, they must be a good integrator, with imagination and creativity.
