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:
This article explores the integration of digital and physical spaces in Society 5.0, emphasising the role of design and AI education in addressing societal challenges through technological innovation. It advocates for an agile action research approach in design education to equip students with practical skills for real-world challenges, aligning with global trends in human-centric design. The research methodology involves a collaborative effort among 20 academics, industry professionals, and students, and in this paper, we are analysing data from two workshops. The workshops focused on understanding and aligning integration models between industry and academia. This preliminary study examined the workshop deliverables using qualitative analyses and tools like Python's Matplotlib and NetworkX libraries. It is predicated on the idea that transformative academic-industrial collaborations will be essential in Society 5.0, requiring a synergy of theoretical research and practical applications. It underscores overcoming bureaucratic and trust barriers to create sustainable, impactful collaborations. Our outcome so far is that the success of university-industry research partnerships depends on the following key factors: alignment of values, effective translation of academic research into practical applications, empathy in the context of multidisciplinary collaboration, clear communication and expectation management, and a focus on broader societal impacts. Future research will focus on integrating technologies with Society 5.0 objectives, enhancing cooperation, and reducing discrepancies between academic theory and industrial practice.
