Course Introduction

The Design Studio 2 is an advanced required course for the junior of the Industrial Design major. It is a project-based course and will be taught in separated project groups by multiple teachers collaboratively. The Intelligent equipment and products module is oriented toward the trend of intelligentization in complex consumer, industrial, and future equipment, exploring the power of smart manufacturing to transform the world. It focuses on fields such as intelligent robotics, engineering machinery, industrial internet, and aerospace equipment, studying complex systems and design methods, technology integration and product consolidation, human factors engineering and interaction experience. The aim is to enhance the innovation capacity and design quality of intelligent equipment, contributing to the high-quality development. Project will be backed up by either research program or business design project, and invite experts such as technology specialists, industrial experts, and enterprise representatives to the lecture or design critic sessions. At the end of the course, a finial work show will be arranged to exhibit the design outputs of students. In this course, students can choose his/her favorite project topic based on their personal interests and participate the corresponding project group. Under the supervision and instruction of teachers, students will experience a standard “double-diamond” design process, master varient design methods and tools, and develop his/her expertise in the topic design field as well as the capability of discovering, defining, developing, and delivering prepared for the graduation project and future design research and practice.
