3rd Engineering & Product Design Education International Conference
Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland
15 and 16 September, 2005
The 3rd Engineering and Product Design Education International Conference
will be organised by the School of Design and Media Arts at Napier
University, Edinburgh in participation with the Design Education Special
Interest Group (DESIG) of the Design Society
[http://www.designsociety.org], and the institution of Engineering
Designers, UK (IED) [http://www.ied.org.uk]. The official conference
language will be English.
Conference Aims
The conference aims to explore novel approaches in design education within
the wider context of product design and development. The theme “CROSSING
DESIGN BOUNDARIES” reflects our wish to incorporate many of the
disciplines associated with, and integral to, modern design pursuits. For
example, the conjunction of anthropology and design, the psychology of
design products, soft computing and wearable products, new media and
design and how they can be best exploited within a product design arena.
Discussions about product design education and the cross-over into these
established fields are warmly welcomed as are links between other
specialist design areas such as interaction design, jewellery design,
furniture design, and exhibition design which have been under represented
at E&PDE conferences in the past. Papers are welcomed in the following
categories:
· Professional Collaborations with SMEs
· Design Curriculum Development
· Philosophies of Design Education
· Developing Design Expertise
· Design Knowledge
· Teaching and Learning Tools
· Problem-based Learning
· Studio-based Design Projects
· Interdisciplinarity
· New Materials and New Technologies in Design
· Design Education and the Internet
· Design Collaboration and Team Working
· Industrial Collaborations and Working with Industry
· Design Theory
· Design Communication
· Design Thinking
