On May 1, 2023, the Institute of Digital Design was established on the basis of the Chair of Engineering Graphics and Design.

The Chair was founded in 1968, its original name was "the Chair of Descriptive Geometry and Technical Drawing". Since 1977, the Chair has been intensively introducing computer technologies into research and educational processes, developing a new direction of research activity "Automation of engineering and design". Then it changed its name to "Engineering and Computer Graphics".

In 1999, MIET received a license to the field of study "Design" and the Chair acquired its current name — "Engineering Graphics and Design" (EGD). Currently, EGD prepares specialists in the following fields of study: 54.03.01 – Design and 09.03.02 — Information Systems and Technologies, educational program "Information technologies in design".

Since February 28, 2008, EGD has been a member of the Union of Designers of Russia.

The educational program "Information Technologies in Design" is a combination of fundamental study of information systems and technologies, skills in the field of digital design, virtual environments development, as well as developing artistic skills. The program trains professionals in 3D modeling and animation, visual programming, video production, VR/AR/MR virtual reality technologies, IT, web, product, UX/UI, as well as designers of interactive systems and products.

An important feature of the training of designers at MIET is a symbiosis of academic artistic subjects, design projects and the latest computer technologies; effective use of the technical base and scientific potential of the university; unique competencies in the field of 3D modeling, visualization and animation; virtual and augmented reality technologies.

Innovative methods and educational technologies have been introduced into the educational process, which have successfully passed all stages of accreditation and fully comply with the requirements of state and professional educational standards.

During their studies, students master almost all software products that modern designers, artists, printers, media and web industry workers use.

The design projects of our students win national and international competitions on par with professional designers. The works of creative teams of our professors and students were awarded by the Government of Moscow, the Committee on Architecture and Urban Planning of Moscow, the President of the Union of Designers of the Russian Federation, etc.

In addition to high qualifications and professional skills inherent in classical design education, graduates possess unique competencies in the field of the latest computer technologies and meet modern requirements of the design industry, and are highly in demand by employers, including the international market.

The Institute consists of about 30 employees. Highly qualified faculty consists of members of the Union of Designers of Russia, the Union of Artists of Russia, the Union of Architects of Russia, official trainers of companies that are world leaders in the production of computer graphics products. Classes are taught by candidates and doctors of sciences, associate professors and professors of the university.

Facilities: specially equipped design workshops, drawing, painting and sculpture studios; modern multimedia computer classes equipped with the latest technology; Render farms designed for 3D modeling, visualization and animation.
