“I've always been interested in designing and developing innovative products. The Centre for Design Engineering facilities are very useful, especially the rapid prototyping facility, which has 3D printers, CNC machines, laser and plasma cutters. These are very useful for your group project, individual thesis project or if you have any creative ideas, as you can actually design and develop them.”

Chemparathickal Joseph Varghese,

current student, (Design Thinking MDes)
