Introduction to the Industrial Product and Design Engineering Program

The Industrial Product and Design Engineering program at the BME-GPK is a unique fusion of technical and artistic education, providing students with a comprehensive foundation in both fields. This 7-semester program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the field of industrial product and design engineering.

Program Structure

The program is divided into 7 semesters, with the first semester focusing on the acquisition of basic knowledge in natural sciences, engineering, and design. As students progress through the program, they will delve deeper into specialized fields such as product design, product management, and design (form and aesthetics).

First Semester

• Acquisition of basic knowledge in design theory, engineering drawing, and mechanical engineering
• Introduction to artistic knowledge and freehand drawing
• Foundation in natural sciences, including mathematics and physics

Second Semester

• Design and realization of personal projects in the university's workshop
• Acquisition of basic digital and 3D design skills using various software
• Introduction to ergonomics and its principles

Third Semester

• Study of material selection and various material testing methods
• Deepening of knowledge in ergonomics, mechanical engineering, and engineering drawing
• Mathematics and mechanics exam at the end of the semester

Fourth Semester

• Laboratory practices, including fluid mechanics and electronics
• Introduction to graphic design basics and methodology for branding
• Acquisition of economic knowledge related to product lifecycle and marketing

Fifth Semester

• Beginning of specialization studies
• Product design projects for external partners, applying previously acquired knowledge
• Deeper economic knowledge and introduction to the design of plastic products

Sixth Semester

• Mixed product design tasks in areas such as furniture or automotive industries
• Specialization studies with a focus on subjects related to the chosen field
• Industrial practice during the summer period for gaining practical experience

Seventh Semester

• Preparation of a thesis in a chosen professional topic
• Final exam to assess the knowledge and skills acquired during the program

Admission Requirements

• Primarily requires mathematical and informatics knowledge, as well as creativity
• Emphasis on drawing skills, with a mandatory drawing aptitude test
• Mandatory subjects for admission include mathematics, with a recommendation for an advanced level exam in mathematics
• Other acceptable subjects for admission include biology, physics, informatics, and chemistry

Drawing Aptitude Test

• Requirements:
  • Tonal, perspective drawing of a given object - 10 points
  • Orthographic and axonometric projection of given objects - 10 points (5 points for each)
• To pass, students must achieve at least 5 points in each part of the test

Specialization Opportunities

• Product design: deepening technical knowledge, understanding of electronics, simulation methods, and material science
• Product management: building on previously acquired economic, management, marketing, and ergonomic knowledge to manage product development
• Design (form and aesthetics): supporting integrated product design and development projects with aesthetic and form-related solutions

Conclusion

The Industrial Product and Design Engineering program at BME-GPK offers a comprehensive education that combines technical and artistic aspects, preparing students for a successful career in industrial product and design engineering.
