Industrial Design

Welcome to the department of Industrial Design

We offer students and staff an international and academic, in other words intellectually stimulating, study and working environment that will inspire them to broadly-based personal development, social and cultural engagement and an entrepreneurial attitude. We are shaping a new discipline: designing and creating intelligent systems, products and related services. We combine cutting edge research in several domains to educate a new type of engineer.

Our industrial designers create connected solutions, combining products and services to suit individual needs. Both students and researchers can work with all stakeholders, customers and producers alike, who are not only involved, but are also essential contributors to the future sustainability of our world. Their role will be to mediate the developments in technology, the needs of people (culture & society) and the responsibility for properly using the power of ideas and values.

Education

Our unique educational model brings together learning and working. Right from their very first day students learn, apply and develop the appropriate attitude, while functioning as ‘junior employees’. They intensively collaborate with research staff in squads, dedicated to specific research topics.

Our department regards it as its task to train engineers possessing a sound basis of knowledge, as well as a rich set of competencies that will enable them to develop successful careers in Industrial Design and a wide range of functions within the community.

We proudly present our spin-offs, startups and other projects!

Valorization

At the department of Industrial Design we are shaping a new discipline: designing and creating intelligent systems, products and related services. We combine cutting edge research in several domains to educate a new type of engineer.

What if you could feel this video?

Everything around us is desgined: from the chair you sit on to the phone you're watching this video on. Designers mostly focus on visual aspects, but Miguel Bruns (Eindhoven University of Technology) explains how we could also design for touch so that in the future you might feel instead of watch this lecture.
