For a correct development of the studies leading to the degree in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering taught at the EIIC of the ULPGC, it is considered advisable that the entry profile of students corresponds to the following personal and academic characteristics:

Required knowledge:

• Notions of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing.
• Oral and written expression in Spanish, comprehension of texts in Spanish.
• Oral and written expression in English, comprehension of texts in English.

Required Skills:

• Aptitude for study and work organization.
• Logical reasoning and real-world problem-solving skills.
• Readiness for practical work.
• Manual dexterity in the handling of instruments or equipment that will be widely used in their studies.

Required Capacities:

• Ability to analyze and synthesize information.
• Capacity for argumentation, reasoning and expression of ideas.

The aim of this degree is to provide students with the necessary knowledge to be able to develop and manage the entire life process of a product.

An Industrial Design professional must be prepared to solve problems in accordance with the contexts of the company and society of the moment, and for this he/she will have to be used to understanding these contexts which are always changing.

The proposed orientation would raise the need to respond to:

• The demand for globalisation of markets.
• Facilitating information flows.
• Control, optimisation and constant innovation in all areas of the generation, development and launch of new products.
• Project experimentation.
• To this end, the white paper proposes four content areas:
• Generation of ideas for the market.
• Development of new products.
• Production and manufacturing techniques.
• Product launch.

In order to have continuity in training after the degree, the implementation of a joint Master’s degree with the University of La Laguna, Barcelona and the Basque Country is being studied. This Master’s Degree will be of 60 ECTS, the title of which will be “Master’s Degree in Innovation in Design for the Tourism Sector”.

It is also possible to access the EIIC’s university master’s degree, by taking the appropriate leveling subjects in the latter.
