ds conference » E&PDE 2010: ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DESIGN EDUCATION 2010

Thursday 02nd of September 2010 — Friday 03rd of September 2010

Venue and location information: NTNU, TRONDHEIM, Norway

The 12th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education will take place 2-3 September 2010, and will be organised by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway in partnership with the Design Education Special Interest Group (DESIG) of the Design Society and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED). The conference in 2010 will address the relationship between design education and design research.

This year's conference theme, "When Design Education and Design Research meet . . . ." aims to provide a platform for participants to explore how scientific research and education within the engineering and product design arena do, can or should strengthen each other. This theme has been chosen as it has remained relatively unexplored in previous years' conferences; yet, design research has, especially in the past decade, grown to become a mature scientific discipline.

Conference topics include:

- Industrial relevance of design education
- Research-based education
- International collaboration
- Creating scientific attitudes among design students
- Linking Bachelor, Master and PhD level education
- New design education paradigms
- Synergies between engineering and product design education
- Teaching Design Methodology
- Best practices in design education
- Scientific methods for course evaluation
- Professional perspectives for design students
- The role of design within a technical university environment
- Technology transfer through design

The Call for Abstracts is NOW OPEN. Abstracts of no more than 500 words should be submitted through the Conference Management System at https://www.conftool.net/epde10/ by 11th December 2009.
