INTRODUCTION:

Tezpur University is starting this new department “Department of Design” under the School of Engineering considering the importance of design in the success of any product. India represents a huge market and an “Atmanirbhar Bharat” needs enormous range of well designed products for its own population as well as the rest of the world. That needs training and preparing future generations of technocrats with the right design perspective.

Initially, the department will be offering elective courses to the B. Tech. and M. Tech. programmes with the objective of providing the students, of the engineering disciplines in particular, with the perspectives of design thinking and the necessary training. Soon these will be extended to students of other programmes. That will be followed by starting of UG/ PG programmes on design in phases. We also envisage the need for catering to students/ project specific requirements. This will add a new perspective to design and innovation of various engineering product design development initiatives by adding a human centric focus.
