B.Des – Bachelor of Design – 4 year degree program
Design education in C.A.T leading to B.Des is one of its kind in the state of Kerala. India Design Council, Government of India and Government of Kerala are keen to take India as world design hub through innovation and design management initiatives.
B.Des of C.A.T addresses both issues of perception and to link crafts with design. The program focuses on three fundamental aspects that we believe would enhance value, employability and marketability.
i). Development of new materials for new uses.
ii). Integrating the latest fabrication techniques, taking cues from craft, using 3D printers, laser cutter and NC-CNC machines and simulation studies.
ii). Firmly ground innovation and entrepreneurial aspects of management in the program.
