M.Des. (Industrial Product Design)

PO1

Analyzing

Identify and analyze complex design challenges by applying critical thinking and contextual awareness across cultural, societal, and technological domains.

PO2

Understanding

Understand user needs, behaviors, and values through empathy-driven approaches to create inclusive, human-centered design outcomes.

PO3

Applying

Apply design thinking methodologies and creative problem-solving processes to address real-world design problems effectively.

PO4

Evaluating

Conduct and evaluate design research using appropriate qualitative and quantitative methods to generate informed insights.

PO5

Synthesizing

Integrate diverse inputs—technical, emotional, and aesthetic—into cohesive and impactful design solutions.

PO6

Reflecting

Demonstrate professional ethics, self-awareness, and reflective practice in individual and collaborative design work.

PO7

Creating

Conceptualize and develop original, adaptive, and future-oriented design ideas using imagination, iteration, and prototyping.

PO8

Sustaining

Evaluate the social, environmental, and ethical implications of design choices, promoting sustainability and responsible innovation.

PO9

Collaborating

Function effectively in interdisciplinary teams, managing roles and responsibilities across the design and development process.

PO10

Communicating

Express design ideas, processes, and outcomes clearly through visual, verbal, and written communication tailored to varied audiences and contexts.

PSO1

Apply ergonomic principles and anthropometric data to design physical products that ensure safety, comfort, and optimal human-machine interaction.

PSO2

Conduct ethnographic studies and market research to identify unmet user needs and translate them into functional product requirements.

PSO3

Select and apply appropriate materials, manufacturing processes, and "Design for Assembly" (DfA) techniques to ensure technical feasibility and production efficiency.

PSO4

Develop high-fidelity physical prototypes using workshop tools, 3D printing, and CNC machining to validate form, fit, and function.

PSO5

Utilize advanced 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and rendering software to create precise technical drawings and realistic visual representations for stakeholder review.

PSO6

Implement sustainable design strategies, such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and "Design for Disassembly," to minimize environmental impact and promote a circular economy.

PSO7

Collaborate with engineers, marketers, and manufacturers to balance aesthetic intent with cost-effectiveness and technological constraints.

PSO8

Communicate design intent and product narratives through a mix of industrial sketching, technical documentation, and verbal presentations.

PSO9

Analyze and integrate smart technologies and IoT capabilities into physical products to create innovative, future-ready hardware solutions.

PSO10

Practice professional design management, including intellectual property awareness and ethical sourcing, while maintaining a reflective portfolio of work.
