History

The first academic education programmes for industrial designers were at the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture. This faculty trained not only architects, but also designers of furniture and everyday utensils. The first students of the 'Technical and Industrial Design' programme started their education with a foundation course in Architecture. In 1969, an independent programme in 'Technical Industrial Design' was established with its own engineering degree. In addition to design, technical subjects played a major role. Ergonomics were also incorporated immediately and furthermore, market research was carried out. Finally, the management side was included in the programme. In 1981, the engineering degree and the interim department was renamed Industrial Design. When the Technical Polytechnic became the Delft University of Technology in 1986, Industrial Design finally became the Faculty of Industrial Design.

gollark: Also, the latest update to something doesn't show on the user-visible revisions page, which is a minor nitpick but I mildly dislike it.
gollark: This isn't really ideal, as I think I'm duplicating data a bit (timestamps), updating a page involves more work, and more importantly the `revisions` thing doesn't have any relevant information beyond what's available from `pages`.
gollark: Basically, when there's a new revision, the apiosystem reads the current content out of `pages`, compresses it, generates and serializes the metadata, then shoves in a row into `revisions`.
gollark: As of now I do this:```sqlCREATE TABLE pages ( title TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, content TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL, created INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE revisions ( page TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(title), timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL, meta BLOB NOT NULL, -- contains revision metadata and type -- ChangeContent { size } is the only one here for now full_data BLOB -- contains optionally compressed text);```but it is not ideal.
gollark: Yes. Please hold on while I post the schæma.
