Abstract
On the basis of the great attention paid by companies' research centres and public bodies' research departments to Design Science in recent years, it is becoming a fundamental topic in university and in post graduate courses. The research work carried out, based on the experiences made both at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and at the Polytechnic of Milan, highlighted the following topics as further developments in the field of Design Education: the idea of a possible "terminal behaviour" of the designer; the distribution of the contents corresponding to such terminal behaviour in two or more courses in the engineering curriculum; the importance of updating such terminal behaviour by the Continuing Design Education.
Keywords: engineering education, design science, methodical design
