Design and Technology are broadly defined by many industries and Flinders University is leading the way in combining Engineering and Design Technologies into a co-dependant degree collaboration. Utilising Design Strategy along with User Experience Research (UX), these core competencies will allow you to develop your skills in product design and manufacturing. Understanding the many variations of production methods, factoring the use of sustainable materials are critical to conceptualising modern consumer artefacts, all the while diminishing the impacts of our consumer culture. 

Design focuses on iterative prototyping and sketching, allowing you to transform ideas into product designs that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Examining User Experience Mapping and Human Machine Interface (HMI) activities, you begin your journey in the understanding of the role of a design professional within the dynamic ecosystem of Engineering Design. Additionally, this particular Flinders' University degree aligns with a strategy to work closely with the university’s engineering, computer  science, robotics and biomedical disciplines to provide a practical grounding within Design Management and Human Factors Engineering.
