A highlight of the morning was one of their many special projects, DIGATRON. A Monster Jam truck designed by Akash as one of his first graduate projects with the company. Tom and Akash are both Graduates of the Automotive and Transport department. Thanks very much for visiting us in our Coventry University studios. #JCB #transportdesign #automotivedesign #Bigwheels #monsterjam #coventryuniversity

This afternoon our Automotive and Transport Design students were visited by Alícia Rudeck, a CMF designer (and course graduate) that works for Envisage Group Limited, a design consultancy based in Coventry. One of the aims of our Auto and Transport Design course is to help students to identify a specialism in the field of design they have an interest in and to help them to develop in that area. Students are encouraged to engage with professionals and collaborate with specialists like Alicia to pick-up skills and new perspectives of design. Many thanks Alicia, your visit was greatly appreciated. Coventry University Coventry University College of the Arts and Society
