The Professorship
The Chair of Industrial Design Engineering at the TU Dresden is one of the largest university research institutions for human-centered design in Germany. Located at the School of Engineering Sciences, we are a connecting part of the Dresden engineering and creative landscape – at the TU Dresden and with partner institutions of the DRESDEN-concept alliance.

Industrial Design at TU Dresden
How can transformative technologies be designed in such a way that they combine technical potential and human needs to create resilient visions of the future? What is important in the design of demonstrators so that innovative technologies are convincing? What are the greatest design levers for sustainable transformation?
In industrial design engineering, we combine an curiosity and a spirit of discovery with the drive to create sustainable products, services and systems.
Efficiency, sufficiency and consistency – we translate strategies for sustainability into transformative designs. Design combines science, technology and empirical social sciences – the analytical and the emotional.
