Mechanical Engineering and Design

The Master of Design (M. Des.) program at Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, is a two-year, full-time, interdisciplinary postgraduate program crafted to nurture the next generation of design innovators, thinkers, and practitioners. Offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Design, the program provides students with a unique opportunity to specialize in one of three dynamic domains: Interaction Design (UX/UI), Communication Design, and Product Design.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, design is no longer limited to aesthetics or usability alone. It has become a strategic tool for innovation, transformation, and social impact. The M. Des. program is structured to meet the growing demand for creative professionals who can blend human-centered thinking, digital fluency, and technological understanding to solve complex real-world challenges.

The curriculum emphasizes a balance between theory and practice, offering students a foundation in design principles, research methods, and technical skills while also encouraging hands-on learning through studio projects, workshops, and live industry collaborations. The pedagogical approach combines design thinking, experiential learning, and multidisciplinary integration, empowering students to develop a future-focused, responsible, and user-centric design mindset.
