Chemical Product Design

Overview

Key facts

The extensive and rapid developments in chemical, molecular, materials, and nano engineering have made the development of a whole new range of functionalised and specialised products possible. Examples of such products include self-healing materials, high-precision catalysts, photovoltaic materials, high performance fibre composites, smart materials, self-assembling layers, rheological complex formulations, and functional membranes.

During the Chemical Product Design programme from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) trainees get the opportunity to deepen their domain knowledge in specific areas, strengthen engineering skills, and acquire know-how about designing these innovative products as well as successfully bringing them to the market.

Benefits

A certified Chemical product designer has in-depth knowledge of design processes, theoretical as well as practical, which clearly distinguishes him/her from a ‘normal’ MSc. Most EngD graduates find excellent positions in industry, often within the company where the final design project was carried out.

Several relevant industries have contributed to the definition of the content and focus of the designer programme in Chemical Product Design, to ensure the significance of the EngD-degree for the trainees future career. Trainees gain skills that industries require whilst obtaining two years of work experience. Besides design skills, trainees develop social skills working in multicultural teams.
