Aims of the instituteINSTITUTE OF MACHINE DESIGN

A long-term global mission of the IMD is to provide a high quality education, research and service to the industry in the field of up–to-date machine design, including machine parts and also in the field of industrial design. An emphasis is therefore laid upon the use of the latest findings in the area of fundamental and applied sciences, upon the prediction of design trends, and upon the integration of computer and information technology into designing processes.

In cooperation with significant organisations of employers and specialised workplaces, the institute has been constantly improving a qualitative development of study programs so that these programs do not only provide a better reflection of current state of science and technology but also respond to up–to–date needs of labor market and industrial practice.

Selection of Industrial design coursesTUITION

Workshop – graphic designFrom tutorials focused on type face, text, picture, colour and composition, the students go over to the respective applications in typographic and graphic designs. They deal with e.g. visual style – corporate identity, information, orientation and operational graphics, etc.

Workshops – product and industrial designIn the workshops students will acquire skills of how to apply their creativity, respecting technical, operational and technological requirements laid upon the industrial product. The design itself is documented with drawings, drawing documentation, 3D visualizacion and a model.
