Industrial Product Design, Transport Design, Digital & Interaction Design

ISD Flaubert (now RUBIKA Design Valenciennes, though the old ISD URL might persist for UPHF links) is a design school, part of Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France, specializing in industrial design, transport design, and digital design. This focuses on the technical design aspects.

Domains taught:

AI and Machine Learning, Automation, Computer Vision, Data Analytics, Ecology and Sustainability, Electrical and Electronics, Engineering, Ergonomics and UX, Fluid Dynamics, Industrial Design, Manufacturing, Materials, Mechanical Engineering, Optics, Process Control, Project Management, Quality, Robotics, Software Engineering, Structural Engineering, Telecommunications, Thermodynamics, Transportations

Diplomas*:

Bachelor, Master

Status:

Public

Partnerships:

Part of UPHF (previously). Rubika is now a private entity. Original ISD was public. This needs clarification based on the URL pointing to UPHF. Assuming public for UPHF component.

Research:

Automotive design and styling, Product design and ergonomics, User experience (UX) and interface (UI) design, Digital modeling and visualization.

Pros

Strong focus on design for industry, particularly transport, good creative environment, links with UPHF.

Cons

If considered as Rubika, it’s private and specialized. If ISD component of UPHF, it’s public but focused on design.

Best For

Design school specializing in industrial, transport, and digital design (technical aspects).
