E&PDE 2024 - 26th International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education
The Conference will bring together representatives from education and industry interested in sharing new perspectives on design education.
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. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Fablabs are educating people in digital fabrication relevant to many areas of life. Often, education in Fablab context is non-formal. Existing examples of formal educational programs, Academany courses, such as Fab Academy are provided through Fablabs for people to learn the possibilities of digital fabrication, with Fab Academy being accredited in several universities around the globe. There is need for continuum for this education within Fablab network, as well as it would support the appreciation of this continuum through the world if it would be possible to accredit it even partly in any university. Here, we study pilot ""Grow with Fab"", run in the network and propose a model of formal education for digital fabrication, Fab Thesis, and a possible method to share it to the network as well. This is a methodological development that bridges the Fablab educational paradigm with academic education.
