    Influential Design and Creative Engineering

    Exchange programme

    Master product design by bringing your own dream project to life and collaborating on real client assignments. Improve your skills, gain knowledge and work with innovative technology to create meaningful impact.

    What do a home fermentation appliance, an electric drift trike, a bicycle airbag, an induction thermal cup, and an ink-removing machine have in common?

    They all began as student project proposals at the start of this minor. Through cycles of research, design, prototyping, and testing, students pushed their boundaries, experimenting with new techniques and technologies to bring their ideas to life.

    With weekly group coaching from experienced product designers, guest lectures, and hands-on workshops, you’ll learn by doing. Plus, the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences provides access to academic resources and cutting-edge workshop facilities for prototyping and product development.

    Your project will align with key themes, allowing you to:

    • Bring your dream project to life in ART & ENGINEERING
    • Collaborate with engineers to explore MIXED TECHNOLOGY
    • Create the ultimate instrument or vehicle in DESIGN FOR ONE
    • Develop and test your own business idea in START-UP
    • Design a product with meaningful impact in IMPACT
