Program Overview
Industrial Design & Engineering Training
Overview
The Industrial Design & Engineering Training program is a 3-year double degree offered by Strate School of Design and ESILV - École Supérieure d'Ingénieurs Léonard de Vinci. This program aims to train future innovative creators to meet the complex challenges of our time by integrating engineering sciences, design, human and social sciences, and entrepreneurship.
Program Structure
The program is divided into three years, each with a specific focus:
- Year 1: The program is divided into four modules, each comprising theoretical courses and projects designed to reinforce the learning and application of academic concepts.
- Year 2: The program continues to emphasize the integration of design and engineering tools and methods, with a focus on real-world projects and collaboration with industry professionals.
- Year 3: The final year focuses on orienting students towards one of three possible career paths: research (academic or R&D), design/engineering, or entrepreneurship.
Training Objectives
The educational objectives of the Industrial Design program are to enable learners to:
- Acquire and master expertise in the main fields of action of transport & mobility design in the face of current and future challenges
- Apply a project-based approach thanks to a modular curriculum and flexible teaching methods tailored to real-life issues
- Integrate the humanities, social sciences, and life sciences, taking a critical look at design to diagnose contemporary dysfunctions
- Draw on research: benefit from the expertise of a team of researchers to integrate the latest advances in design into the curriculum
- Adopt an ethical dimension to design, and become aware of the social and environmental responsibilities incumbent on future designers
- Collaborate with a dynamic ecosystem and interact with a network of partners and companies to orient and enrich training in line with current design requirements
