The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering stands for: creating successful products people love to use.

Our mission is to contribute to the knowledge, skills, methods and professional attitudes in the field of integrated product development. We aim to achieve this through education and research at an internationally recognized scientific level, as befits our status as part of the Delft University of Technology. The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering's concern is to study, innovate and improve the development of products and their related services for people, on the basis of the balanced interests of users, industry, society and environment.

Within research and education the subject of packaging is treated both as a product in its self, as for instance with fast moving consumer goods, and as a factor in the design of durable goods. Aspects studied cover engineering, aesthetics, marketing, and ergonomics.
