Support for Students in the Baccalauréat en design industriel – Université de Montréal


Equipping future industrial designers with the guidance, tools, and confidence to shape tomorrow’s products and systems.

The Bachelor of Industrial Design at the Université de Montréal is a demanding and forward-thinking program that prepares students to design innovative, sustainable, and user-centered products—from consumer electronics to transportation systems, medical devices, and beyond.

At Bouyela Education Corporation, we recognize the unique academic and creative challenges students face in this field. Our goal is to provide specialized support to help you master the balance between creativity, technical precision, and real-world problem-solving—so you can succeed both during your studies and in your career.


⚙️ Unique Challenges in Industrial Design Education


Industrial design is an intense, multidisciplinary field that combines engineering, visual arts, user experience, and business insight. Students often face:

  • Rigorous Studio Work: Design projects are iterative and time-consuming, requiring frequent revisions and testing.

  • Technical Knowledge: Students must grasp ergonomics, materials science, manufacturing processes, and prototyping techniques.

  • Software Demands: Proficiency in programs such as SolidWorks, Rhino, KeyShot, Adobe Creative Suite, and Fusion 360 is expected.

  • Product Lifecycle Thinking: You’re trained to design with sustainability, scalability, and user impact in mind.

  • Continuous Critique: Feedback sessions can be intense, but they are vital to growth and skill refinement.
