Training goals

The studies leading to a degree in Industrial Design Engineering offer students an interdisciplinary training in both socio-cultural and technological subjects. These engineers work on designing, developing, producing and marketing industrial products.

The contents of the subjects are organised in four broad areas of study:

Visualisation, representation and communication systems.
Materials and their transformation, and technology and its applications.
Basic subjects ranging from applied physics and mathematics to the history of culture and design.
Projects involving the development of products of varying degrees of complexity.

In the final year of the degree course students can choose from several specialist pathways: the habitat, leisure, textile and equipment sectors.
