商品簡介
Forty-plus papers from a September 2000 conference are arranged in sections on globalization, information technology, visualization and virtual reality, modeling and simulation, time compression, rapid product development, merging design cultures, sustainable development, design education philosophy and practice, and international comparisons. The papers consider the full spectrum of design education from primary, through secondary, and tertiary sectors, to continued professional development; and the following themes emerge: the benefit of reflection on past experience, integration of industrial experiences in the education of designers, the impact of information technology on the design process, the necessity for hands-on learning experiences, and the demand for designers to understand both global and regional markets.
