Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Competences acquired during industrial design education and competences actually required in professional
design practice are sometimes diverging. This article outlines characteristics of the industrial
design profession in Norway, discussing changes in the profession, different roles of the industrial designer,
and skills and knowledge required. With a basis in surveys done at the Norwegian University
of Science and Technology (NTNU) as well as in depth interviews of graduate industrial designers
from NTNU, a set of skills, knowledge and qualifications are identified and implications for improvement
of industrial design education are made
