Industrial Design Engineering an der The Hague University of Applied Sciences (De Haagse Hogeschool)

The sky is the limit thanks to the virtual elimination of boundaries by globalisation and modern technology. Similarly, the boundaries between products, services and the consumer experience are blurring. This calls for new types of engineers with a broad perspective: open innovators. In the English-taught programme of Industrial Design Engineering you will learn to design solutions for today’s complex challenges. You will combine creativity with entrepreneurship, so that your products or services really are created. This new programme already has a robust network in trade and industry. Companies are eagerly awaiting these engineers of the future.

Study

With your Bachelor of Engineering in hand after three years’ study, a range of directions will be open to you. You’ll have what it takes to start working independently on your own engineering projects. In the role of junior innovator, you can join any of the larger companies or the arts and entertainment sector. Having already come into contact with many of these companies while studying, it will be easier to get in touch with them. If you’d like to specialise, you’ll be able to continue studying after completing your bachelor’s degree.

What does an open innovator do?

An open innovator is the designer of the future. You devise creative solutions for complex issues in trade and industry and non-profit organizations. These solutions may be products, but could just as easily be services, technical applications, websites or complete business models. Have you heard of Nike+ running shoes? They have a sensor in the insole, so that you can maintain contact with your personal trainer via your iPod. As an open innovator, you could devise a clever design like this, meeting the users needs!
