NUST MISIS and the Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad (IIIT Dharwad) held an international educational masterclass week entitled Design your future. Participants explored modern approaches to design, UX/UI design and digital product development, and learned how to present their projects effectively to potential employers.
The programme was delivered online in English, with sessions led by faculty members from both universities. NUST MISIS was represented by members of the Department of Computer-Aided Design and Design at the College of Computer Science.
Оver five days, participants attended ten lectures and masterclasses. Faculty members from IIIT Dharwad covered topics including design for children and users with special needs, resource-efficient innovations, the development of products with extended lifecycles, and entrepreneurship.
NUST MISIS faculty members from the Department of Computer-Aided Design and Design — including Head of the Department Evgeny Korzhov, Associate Professor Igor Star, and Senior Lecturers Alisa Gron, Elena Panteleeva and Antor Mahmudul — spoke about human-centred design, UX research methods and professional portfolio development.
