Abstract:
This paper is to display the effect of a PBL (Project Based Learning) style design course, which was constructed by the author, and combined aesthetics and engineering knowledge. The author considered that current Taiwanese industrial design collegiate students are not strong in engineering design, and they often emphasize appearance of product but ignore function; therefore, the author tried to develop pedagogy which involves the above-mentioned idea to lead students to develop buckle design and fabricate it. Through the experimental project in the course, most of the students were satisfied with the learning style and find the fulfillment in engineering design.
