Program Description

The study program in Industrial Design Engineering (BSc) helps you to answer the following questions.

Coffee machines, phones, medical devices: they all need to be ‘designed’. When designing these products, many questions need to be asked and answered. What does the customer need? How does the customer expect the product to look? How can the product be manufactured? What materials should be used? How can it be tested? How should it be marketed?

This unique study program responds to the growing demand from the design and manufacturing industries for ID engineers who have skills and knowledge but can also apply these in professional situations.

Curriculum

Years 1 & 2

Industrial Design Engineering students work in a design studio, not in a classroom. The design studio works throughout the year on live projects of different durations usually with multiple projects running at one time (like in a real design studio). In order to evaluate the student's progress (‘learning’), the program assesses ‘competencies’(e.g ‘professional practice’ or ‘concept development). There are 2 assessment moments per year where the students demonstrate their competence development through a portfolio.

Year 3

In the 3rd year, students have to opportunity to study for 1 semester in another university anywhere in the world (‘Minor Semester’) and to work in a company on an internship for another semester.

Year 4

The final (4th year) is divided into an on-campus semester and a semester-long graduation project which takes place off campus in a company. It is a requirement that one of the Internship, Minor or Graduation semesters is done in an international setting (a country outside the student's home country).
