Comment: Primary sources do not establish notability. (In fact, I highly doubt that this subject even could be notable, given that entire faculties and other substantial organisations aren't.) DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:25, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Innovation Design Engineering (IDE) is a joint master's course offered between Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art (RCA).^[4]^[5] On completion students are awarded with a MSc from Imperial College, and a MA from the RCA It is notable for having developed numerous inventions and incubated start-up companies.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

History

The course was founded in 1980 by Misha Black, Frank Height, Professor Hugh Ford, and Professor John Alexander^[1] as part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It was moved to the Dyson School of Design Engineering when the school was founded in 2014. The course name was changed in 2003 from Industrial Design Engineering to Innovation Design Engineering by Tom Barker, who also introduced the GoGlobal module. ^[10]

While the Global Innovation Design (GID) programme (2012-2024) was also offered as a joint course between Imperial College and the RCA, it has been discontinued.^[11] IDE is currently the only joint course offered by both universities.
