Chair of Industrial Design Engineering

Important Topics

In the Industrial Design specialisation track, we train students of mechanical engineering and industrial engineering to become industrial design engineers at the Master's level.

Research

We conduct research that shapes the future – from resource-efficient product design to complex system solutions – for a sustainable future worth living.

Co-operation

For transformative innovations, we integrate the expertise of different disciplines in exchange with practitioners – regionally anchored and globally oriented.

Industrial Design Engineering at TU Dresden

As an agile team, we conduct research with the expertise of various disciplines. We combine design with engineering and psychology, economics and social sciences, physics and computer science. In the spirit of research-based teaching and learning, practical projects are at the heart of many courses. Together with our students and in the specific research questions of empirical dissertations, we expand the fields of application and impact of design research. We live co-creation right from the start, with a growing network of partners.

For us, life-centered design means: we design and create for people — as part of a complex ecosystem. For a future worth living, we combine practices such as circular design, systems thinking and futuring into solution-oriented and scientifically sound action.
