**********************************************
The 9th International Conference on Engineering and Product
Design Education: Shaping the Future? will be organised by the School of Design
at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne in participation with the Design
Education Special Interest Group (DESIGN) of the Design Society, the
Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), in collaboration with the British-
HCI Group, and endorsed by the Design Research Society (DRS).
Conference Aim
The EPDE: Shaping the Future? conference will bring together representatives
from education and industry who have an interest in shaping the future of
design education. The conference will provide a forum for educators and
researchers from product development, engineering and industrial design,
together with industry and government representatives to discuss current
educational issues and the nature of design education in the future. This
year's conference theme 'Shaping the Future?', will provide the opportunity for
participants to exchange ideas and build collaborative relationships.
While 'Shaping the Future?' may be understood in multiple ways, and we
encourage varied interpretations of the theme, questions that might be explored
include: What are the possibilities for design education?, What and whose
concerns are shaping design education at present?, How are educators shaping
future designers?, How does design shape the future? Potential futures for
design research? These questions will be explored in the following conference
topics:
- Design and local community
- Design and government
- Teaching tools and techniques
- Developing links with industry
- Design curriculum development
- Philosophies of design education
- Professional development in design
- Cross-disciplinary projects
- Work-based learning
- Future industry needs
- Learning environments
- Industry based student projects
- Assessment
- Professional doctorates
- 'New' knowledge's for design - Design manifestos
In keeping with the inclusive ethos of the EPDE conference other stream
proposals are welcomed. It is also envisaged that participation in the
conference may take a number of forms:
- Paper and poster presentations
- Roundtable discussions
- Exhibition
- Workshops
