September, 2005
The 3rd Engineering and
Product Design Education International Conference will be organised by the
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
