Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

The Bachelor’s programme in Industrial Design Engineering lasts three years. The academic year is split into four quarters, each lasting ten weeks. For the first two years, you will at any given moment be following two parallel courses of equal size. These will alternate between theory, practice and projects. At the end of each course, there is an examination, assignment and/or paper.

The courses sometimes require you to work alone while at other times you will be working in groups. In the third year of study, you will choose a minor and two elective courses. The third year ends with a final Bachelor’s project.

Design projects provide a thread of continuity throughout the programme as a whole. These projects provide the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills that you have acquired from the various disciplines related to IDE (see below), and you will learn to visualise, present your work and create technical documentation.

The IDE-related disciplines

  • Engineering
  • Ergonomics
  • Design
  • Marketing and Consumer Behaviour
  • Sustainability
