Dr Stanislav Roudavski...
Dr. Brunette's paper looks to combine the latest practice methods (Design Thinking, Agile, Lean and User Centered Design) and then try to link them to possible challenges in the design education field. His work gives more evidence that the design methodology that is being practiced in the USA continues to move closer to software development and its close relationship with User Experience Design to exclusion of the built environment.
I have been studying this problem for several years now inside several Korean design university departments. My research has been focused on what I refer to as Compression Learning Theory and its efforts to try and upgrade design education methods so that students are better equipped to leave university and understand the collaborative environment they will likely encounter in the job market as working designers. My specialty area is Industrial Design and as such, my research aims at broadening the education of ID majors at the undergraduate level. My theory has been successful at developing both the cognitive and tactile skills of design undergraduates, as now my 2nd year students are capable of what was once considered 4th year level performance. My current endeavor is now focused on exploring the inclusion of UX/UI Agile and Lean methodologies into my teaching method and theory development that already has Design Thinking, Systems and User Centered Design included in the curriculum along with all of the other Industrial Design related pedagogy.
