A New Chapter in Design Education
It’s a proud and exciting moment for Ovi Design Academy as we officially announce our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Velammal Institute of Technology, Chennai!
This partnership marks a major step forward in our mission to bridge the gap between design education and real-world practice, creating more opportunities for students to grow, innovate, and excel in the fast-evolving world of UX/UI design.
Why UX/UI Matters for All Engineering Students
In today’s world, technology succeeds only when it serves people effectively.
That’s where UX (User Experience) and UI (User Interface) design come in — they ensure that products are not just functional, but also intuitive and human-centered.
For engineering students, understanding UX/UI means:
- Building smarter solutions: Designing systems that align with user needs, not just technical requirements.
- Enhancing innovation: Thinking beyond code to create meaningful digital interactions.
- Improving teamwork: Collaborating better with designers, product managers, and developers.
- Boosting employability: Companies now prefer engineers who understand design thinking and usability.
Simply put, UX/UI turns engineering ideas into impactful user experiences — the skillset every modern engineer needs.
A Collaboration for the Future
The MoU reflects a shared vision between Ovi Design Academy and Velammal Institute of Technology — to empower students with industry-relevant skills, hands-on experiences, and creative confidence.
Through this partnership, students will gain access to:
- Specialized UX/UI training programs led by industry experts
- Live projects and design challenges that simulate real-world scenarios
- Career mentorship and internship opportunities with design professionals
- Industry exposure through guest lectures, workshops, and portfolio reviews
Together, we aim to nurture creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and innovators who can redefine the future of design and technology.
Helping Engineering Students Excel in Final-Year Projects
Under this collaboration, Ovi Design Academy will mentor final-year engineering students in developing UX/UI-driven capstone projects.
Our mentorship focuses on:
- Discovering real user problems worth solving
- Applying design thinking to project research and prototyping
- Building user-friendly digital interfaces
By bridging technical precision and creative empathy, students can produce projects that stand out in both academic and professional spaces.
Empowering the Next Generation of Designers
At Ovi Design Academy, we believe true design education goes beyond theory — it’s about experience, experimentation, and exploration.
This collaboration gives students at Velammal Institute of Technology a chance to gain hands-on exposure to UX/UI processes, build critical thinking skills, and develop real-world creative solutions.
By blending academic learning with professional practice, this MoU sets the foundation for the next generation of design leaders who will shape tomorrow’s user experiences.
Looking Ahead
This partnership opens the door to countless opportunities — from student mentorship and portfolio development to workshops, talks, and live industry projects.
As we move forward, our goal remains clear: to make design education accessible, practical, and inspiring for every student who dreams of making a difference through creativity.
Here’s to a future where creativity meets opportunity, and where every learner is empowered to design with purpose and impact.
