What is IDC all about?
IDC, Industrial Design Center, one of the first design schools in the country is aimed at addressing the unmet needs of an under-privileged population. Design is a field that requires both creativity and logic, to create unique solutions.
What kind of courses do you have to do?
B.Des Programme: A course that introduces fresh students to the field of design as a whole. Giving them opportunities to learn fundamentals and work with many different areas.
Minor courses offered for B.Tech and M.Tech students, include a few introductory courses, a set of courses that offer an overview of the specializations at IDC, and additional courses that faculty may want to offer.
In addition, students may want to take up a studio project with any faculty who are interested in offering a semester-long project. In case the same student want to continue further, he/she can continue to the next semester with studio project II.
The objective in offering these courses is to provide an exposure in design to students of technology and bringing about a better awareness towards design in the long run.
It is also likely that a few of the engineering students who have earned a minor in design, may choose to undertake further studies at IDC.
