The track in Product Design is oriented toward the development of different skills:

– the ability to address themes and issues of great social and environmental relevance (health, welfare, multiculturalism, energy efficiency, products designed for renewable energy and waste reduction, etc.);

– the ability to contribute to the innovation of a productive system such the Italian one — defined by a great presence of small, very small, and medium-sized businesses — and promote the creation of research and development networks;

– the ability to develop product innovation aimed at satisfying compelling needs (innovation of existing product types and development of new typologies and forms of interaction), thanks to the use of new technical-scientific tools (sensors, RFID, internet of things, innovative materials, nanotechnology, etc.).
