The Department of Product Design, National
College of Arts, approaches further development in
a comprehensive and systematic way, with a strong
cultural attitude. Within an accelerated social and
technical progress, products progressively evolve
into complex systems that merge both tangible
and intangible aspects. We are in a process of
developing professionals in designing products
and manufacturing systems that are functional,
aesthetic, usable and sustainable; creating
leaders who can strengthen existing practice
and develop new practice in the areas of design
and manufacturing; developing products and
manufacturing systems that can significantly impact
the society; developing knowledge, including
methods and tools, to inform and empower practice
and education of design and manufacturing.
We fully support Industrial/Product Design
students in creatively pursuing new means and
new meanings. Our students make fresh ideas
and compelling arguments that are informed by
research and evidence.
These creative ideas become manifested in their
splendid, diverse works, which students have been
testing and validating through prototyping and
critiquing all this time, following a long process of
research, design and testing.
Professionals with expertise in a wide range of
areas have guided students in research using their
experience to create well-conceived and executed
objects, products and systems which make everyday
tasks easier and exclusive.
Consequently, the boundaries of the degree show
expand to integrate different facets, such as the
relationship between design and technology and
the need for new augmented functions; strategic
and market-related actions; a focus on social and
environmental issues; and a clear understanding of
the processes that concur in the definition of the
qualities of products.
