Abstract:
Industrial Design, by its nature, is a collaborative profession and the design process is strengthened when each participant contributes their own unique background and experiences. Since the profession of industrial design is supplied by universities that graduate industrial designers, our team became curious about the demographic break down of educators in terms of true diversity. Currently, there is no such data available on this topic. For this paper, we wish to share the methodology behind our industrial design education census, the initial findings from our prototype, as well as our prescriptions on how to achieve greater diversity in industrial design education.
