Industrial Design – established in 2000
“Creating intelligent products and services”
• Strategic partners
– Design Academy Eindhoven
– Philips Design
• Educational innovation
– competencies needed by the professional field
– learning and working closer together
– new staff roles – away from traditional teacher

Research: motivation and principles
– Why research?
• as a window to the international research community
• as a source of knowledge to feed the education program
– How?
• Scientific
• Constructive
• Multidisciplinary
• Based on respect for man
– adapting the product to the user, not the other way around
– not putting an unnecessary cognitive and emotional load on the user

Paradigms
– Research paradigms
• Modeling and formalization of the mind (psychology)
• Modeling and formalization of the artifacts (engineering)
• Research through design
TU/e
faculty of industrial des
Paradigms
– What about truth?
• Theory-experiment-falsification
– first proposed by Popper
– typical for physics and psychology
• Specification-implementation-verification
– both at product-level and at tool-level
– typical for engineering (mechanical, electrical, software)

User Centered Engineering (UCE)
– Existing group
• History in application-oriented perception and cognition
– Topics:
• User-centered design,
– also for non-traditional user groups
• Multi-modal interaction styles and tele-presence
• Methodology and evaluation
• Speech, dialogue and image processing

research questions
– how can we create new forms of interactions that are more
enjoyable than traditional user-interfaces?
– how can we design useful and meaningful forms of artificial
emotional intelligence?
– how can we design useful and meaningful forms of intelligent
systems which help in generating and managing flow experiences?
– how can we design systems of connected devices that are active in
a shared space such that the devices are aware of the users and of
other devices in a meaningful and helpful way?
