They are required to work in environments that have different technical standards, procedures, cultures and languages. Increasingly, global product design and developments are created by multinational teams, and operate in a virtual environment using cutting-edge information technology. This has created the need for a design course which focuses on international new product design and development. This new course aims to meet this industrial demand by integrating technology, management, ergonomics, marketing, business and design methods to produce highly qualified and sought after designers able to cope with the challenges the global economy presents.
