Dear Colleagues, I am sharing with you information about an exciting new graduate program in Transportation Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Please draw this to the attention of those who may be interested. Yours, Ken Friedman -- Please take a moment to pass this news on to someone who might be interested in a unique graduate transportation design program we have begun here at the School of Design within the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The attachment provides greater detail as to what we are offering but briefly we have created a program, at the graduate education level that focuses on transportation issues in China and the emerging economies of Asia. Students will be tasked to anticipate the implications of trends and issues with regard to the practice of Transportation Design in the future and come to understand how they as designers will contribute to the design of mobility solutions. They will become familiar with the companies and the people that are contributing to transportation solutions in the fastest growing economy in the world. Employment opportunities are plentiful and this program will aid the graduate in finding their place in the region- or simply contribute to the practicing designers knowledge and bring a new awareness back to their company that is seeking a part of this rapidly developing market. Recent graduates of undergraduate programs with a strong skillset in transportation design, transportation designers seeking a new career direction or employees of companies with a presence in China will benefit from perhaps the worlds only masters degree/ transportation design program focusing on China.
