According to Prof Raghu Reddy, head of the new PDM program, “The role of design in the success of products is increasing significantly.
Product interfaces (look and feel, interaction, intuitiveness, etc) are evolving at a rapid rate.
Engineers, managers and designers have to work together to identify problems and build solutions that can solve societal problems and also contribute to the bottom line of their organisation. The PDM program addresses this particular requirement”. (Hydnow)
