This answers my question.Thank you for your feedback - What is the difference between this programme and related programmes at UT?
Differences between Creative Technology and Industrial Design Engineering lay in the scientific basis: for Creative Technology builds on computer science, electrical engineering, and design, whereas Industrial Design Engineering builds on mechanical engineering and design. They both build on creativity and design, but due to the nature of the main technology used, CreaTe will focus on smart products.
This answers my question.Thank you for your feedback - What is the difference between this programme and similar programmes at universities of applied science (HBO)?
