STUDENT PROJECTS

At IE University, we practice a hands-on methodology that encourages students to learn by working on real projects, gaining experience in the fields they're passionate about before they even graduate.

For students in the Bachelor in Design, this means one thing: the sky's the limit. Our students are constantly observing, questioning, and challenging the world that surrounds them.

In their program projects, they design, redesign, and test ideas and objects until their idea comes to life.

Throughout the development of these projects, students are supported by cutting-edge tools and technologies provided to them by IE University.

THE FABLAB AT IE UNIVERSITY

The Fabrication Laboratory or “FabLab” is an important part of our “culture of making.” It is a space for students to experiment with digital and traditional woodworking tools to fuel practical constructional understanding. The FabLab is divided into two: the digital part with a CNC router, laser cutters and 3D printers, and the other with traditional, hands-on carpentry tools.

This gives you the chance to put your work together in a computerized format, allowing you to make any necessary alterations to your design while also providing you with a platform to incorporate this function into other creations.
