Traineeship EngD Designing Human-System Interaction

EngD programs thoroughly prepare master graduates for a career in industry or business through a two-year program. The programs offer the trainee with advanced education and a major design project with a company or an institution over two years. Industrial Design offers the EngD program Designing Human-System Interaction. 

Got a design challenge?

Do you have a design challenge but not the right knowledge to tackle it? Want to improve your service or product, but don’t have the time or manpower? Looking for access to leading expertise of university researchers applied to your specific case? Then you should consider a traineeship for either a new candidate or an employee at your company or institution.

EngD candidates are trained in Interaction Design and User Experience Design. They apply iterative and fast prototyping approaches to develop novel concepts in interaction technology. Following a design thinking approach, they are competent in people research to understand user needs and identify opportunities for technology innovation, and carry out evaluations to test assumptions, propose improvements and add value for your business.  Next to the training activities such as the courses and design cases, the major design projects can be executed as part of the USI program as follows:

  • Trainee should work on an industrial project for projects with an effort of 9 and 15 months over the two years of training.
  • Trainees collaborate closely with an academic supervisor to ensure knowledge transfer from the research group to the industry.
