The two-year M.Des program is the flagship program of the CPDM, the design center of IISc. The Center is perhaps the only place in India pursuing an active research program in Design spanning the broad areas of Design Theory and Methodology, Human Factors in Design, PLM as well as Vehicle Design, Simulation and Testing. The Center offers a successful amalgamation of research in design (M.Sc.(Engg.) and Ph.D.) and design in practice (M.Des.). The Center firmly believes that product designers and design researchers are complementary to each other. The design approach of this course is an amalgamation of Ph.D and conceptualize and engineer products to satisfy societal needs considering functional, aesthetic, ergonomic, materials, manufacturing & marketing aspects.
