Department of Product Design & Entrepreneurship
We are delighted that you are considering becoming part of our community here at the Product Design and Entrepreneurship Department. Product Design is a modern twist on what started life as Industrial Design. An industrial designer develops the concepts for manufactured products, such as cars, home appliances, electronics and toys.
They combine art, business, and rudimentary concepts of engineering to make prototypes of products that people use every day. Product Design is the process of identifying a market opportunity, defining the problem, developing a solution for that particular problem and validating the solution with real users.
A Product Designer is therefore a problem solver who is responsible for the design and development of consumer products, including improving existing products designs and analysing working concepts launched by competitors of similar products, to match quality and performance.
