Industrial Design Centre (IDC) is a design school in India, established in 1969 by the Government of India at the campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. It offers Master of Design and Bachelor of Design degree programs in Industrial Design, Visual Communication, Animation, Interaction Design and Mobility & Vehicle Design, as well as a Ph.D program in Design.
The first two semesters in the first year consist of theory courses and learning/instruction oriented projects. The second year is largely spent on design projects.
The project orientation is fully reflected in the course structure. The simple projects in Visual Communication, Product Design, Animation and Interaction Design are introduced in the 1st semester.
Depending on their interest the students choose elective courses in the 2nd and 3rd semester.
In the last two semesters the students undertake three application oriented projects of varying duration and complexities. They also undertake a special project oriented towards design research.
There are twenty two faculty members who are supported by technical staff and workshop personnel in their educational, consultancy and research projects. The faculty at IDC comes from backgrounds like Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Architecture, Art, Engineering, Sciences and Ergonomics.
IDC has studios for metal, wood, plastic, plaster, ceramic with provisions for making and painting models as well as developing prototypes.
