First Year
Outline
During first year, the foundation for engineering and product design
studies is established.
The basic sciences and mathematics are covered, that will later become
the essential tools for engineering design. Laws of motion, thermodynamics
and materials are taught in the form of lectures, tutorials and practical
work. The area of Electronics is also covered as most modern products
incorporate a great degree of electronic control.
Product design studio classes during first year, aim at training the
students in project based learning that is very different from “chalk
and talk” of a typical classroom. Students are guided in developing
their drawing skills, independent thinking and creativity while working
individually or as part of a team. The design studio environment is similar
to a design office rather than a university classroom.
