Design Product experiences for the future
Course Duration: 4 years
Our AICTE approved, 4-year undergraduate program, B. Des. in Humanising Technology, resolves the problem faced by young students to make a choice between their interest in art, science and technology by offering a seamless amalgam of these streams. The program brings new focus on this aspect of ‘multi-disciplinarity’—the byword in the field of design. It enables crafting product/service experiences that are delighting wherein the technology is consumable and unseen, thus ‘humanised.’
This unique program caters to the minutest nuances and gives the multidisciplinary edge to the ever-evolving field of design. Our well-trained, visionary faculty ensure that our students are trained for a bright career in Design.
This program has a generalist two-year foundation, progressing to a focus on designing seamless, Cognitive and behaviour science based product experiences with emergent technologies such as Internet of things (IOT), Virtual Reality (VR), in the third year and professionalising the learnings in the fourth year
Humanising Technology is the act of design to make technology accessible, usable and delightful to the users.

Curriculum design
Our curriculum is a progressive tenet of using Design as a focal point to address problems considering the interpretations from cognitive, behavioural sciences and business. More importantly, considering technology as an opportunity and an enabler.
The course structure facilitates multi-skilling in graphic, product, motion and digital design as well multi-disciplinary capabilities such as coding, scientific research writing, business, psychology and sociology of the user and technology to equip the design student to take a trans-disciplinary, holistic and user-centered approach when designing solutions.
The curriculum is pillared on four multidisciplinary fundamentals- design, technology, sciences and business. Courses in these fundamentals fall under two basic categories ‘Design centric’ and ‘Design allied’. Below is an indicative representation of the course structure of the Program.
