The experience of the user takes centre-stage with regard to Industrial Design Engineering. Design and engineering are both crucial in the development of technically complex products. Especially in the early phases of development, design is an important part of generating, communicating and realising innovative solutions. In interdisciplinary teams, we devise innovative studies and design solutions. Taking into consideration customer, market and corporate requirements, we are able to develop technically, ergonomically and aesthetically convincing product and innovation studies for tomorrow’s working environments.

Through fundamental research, we strive towards a better understanding of the design process and apply design as a tool and method in diverse industrial areas and application-oriented scientific fields. We are an integral part of the interdisciplinary scientific landscape of Dresden, where new research concepts are initiated and carried out.

The degree programme Industrial Design Engineering, as part of the main course of  general and structural mechanical engineering, is anchored primarily in the specialisation track Industrial Design. Based on creative and technical-scientific basic training, it is characterised by intensive and systematic project-based courses. The focus here lies once again in the design of appealing and innovative products. Study projects are closely related to our research and development topics and are generally done for, or in cooperation with, our partners.
