M.Des in Product Design Development & Management

Started in 1997, the Master of Design (MDes) programme is a two-year full-time graduate programme that aims to impart education in design and development of new products that are innovative and competitive. The programme aims at developing skills, knowledge and aptitude among students so that they can, through creative problem solving, bring about innovation in product design and manufacturing industry. The students are trained to approach product design from a holistic viewpoint, integrating in a balanced and harmonious manner industrial design and engineering design perspectives, to develop products that are well-engineered, aesthetic, usable and sustainable, with enhanced feasibility.

The MDes programme at DM is spread over four semesters and two summer terms, contains a challenging mix of courses and projects in user-research, creativity, advanced engineering, aesthetics, ergonomics, materials, manufacturing, design methodology, CAD, CAE, marketing and design for X, etc., to train students in developing products that blend the soft and the hard to solve the problem and wow the user. The programme takes engineers and architects as input through a most challenging design aptitude test called DAT, and handpicks the best for grooming and training through its knowledge, skill and reflection-based curriculum that prepares them to lead existing practice and create new practices in design.

Candidates with a bachelor's degree in Engineering / Architecture and with a valid GATE / CEED score are eligible to apply. Selection is based on the performance in the Design Aptitude Test (DAT) followed by an interview conducted at the centre. The DAT and the following interview scrutinize engineering knowledge, abstract and analytical thinking ability, aesthetic sensitivity and communication ability, and the overall aptitude for the design programme.

A third of the final year projects in DM lead to technology patents, and a fifth of its students remain in campus to incubate products into start-ups. Students from DM have led design practice with distinction, e.g. designing the first indigenous car from Suzuki - A-Star, (or the award-winning TVS Akula), winning major international design prizes, and starting their own companies.

To complement the current design teaching in India which predominantly trains for developing form and industrial designers, DM pioneered training into 'Industrial Design Engineers', 'Innovator Entrepreneurs' and 'Smart Innovator Entrepreneurs' (specialising in development of smart products). The emphasis on design, development and management brings together unique skills that are particularly suitable for leadership roles in product development and management.

The 'Department of Design and Manufacturing' offers the industry opportunity to recruit students graduating from the Master of Design (M.Des) course specializing in Product Design Development and Management.

RESEARCH PROGRAMMES  AT DM

The research programme at DM (MTech by Research and PhD) is carried out in laboratories at the bleeding edge of research, in a variety of areas in advanced design and manufacturing, including ideation, PLM, medical diagnostics, human factors, digital manufacturing, engineering safety and sustainability. DM pioneered design research in India to support development of its capability to pursue basic and applied research into Design. DM initiated India’s first design observatory in 2002, and India’s first Smart Factory in 2015 in collaboration with The Boeing Company, USA -a strategic partner of IISc, alongside University Cambridge in the UK and Tshinghua University in China. Equipped with a strong faculty, a well-groomed library and an array of sophisticated facilities, DM has a congenial atmosphere to develop future leaders in design and manufacturing research.

DM hosts one of the first five Design Innovation Centres (DIC) funded by MHRD, GOI to support innovators and mentor teachers via a programme that straddles incubation, training and online courseware. DM also initiated India’s first Joint Center of Excellence on Design of Sustainable Systems, in collaboration with University of California Berkeley, Syracuse University, Washington State University, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy Bangalore, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and National Innovation Foundation, Ahmedabad.

A major thrust of research at DM is developing knowledge-intensive and testable tools for supporting development of complex products and manufacturing systems. Outcomes include the world’s most advanced Digital Human Models, a biomimetic tool called Idea-Inspire that pioneered systematic bio-inspired ideation, and lightweight 3D compression systems for fast transfer of complex geometric models across the internet. Research from DM directly impacts practice: it enables product developers and manufacturers tackle challenges more efficiently, and stretches the boundaries of what can be tackled.

Research students

Research students are selected thorough a stringent selection procedure comprising a rigorous and extensive interview, in order to determine their individual ability and motivation. A research student can select a research topic from among the areas of research offered for admission in the year of admission.

MTech(R) students

MTech by Research [MTech(R)] is generally a two years research course. MTech(R) students are required to enrol more number of courses compared to that required for PhD students. MTech(R) is a perfect blend of course work and research, thus providing students with freedom to take up either doctoral research or to be a part of a company where both research and general design are essential.

PhD(Design and Manufacturing) students

Ph.D. at IISc generally requires three and half years of extensive, in-depth research. A PhD student is expected to make major contributions in philosophy, understanding or enhancement of the state of the art in design or manufacturing.
