Erik and I form part of the organising committee for the International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education (E&PDE) and I have selected six papers from the 19th E&PDE Conference, held in September 2017 at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Science. 160 delegates from over 25 countries presented 117 papers, including 16 from students, on the theme of Building Community: Design Education for a Sustainable Future and the papers that I have chosen to represent a broad cross-section of those, covering a range of topics of interest to those engaged in design education, and they all provoked much debate and discussion. The papers presented here have been expanded and updated to take into account feedback received from other delegates at the E&PDE conference. The E&PDE annual conference series started in 2000 and is organised jointly by the Design Education Special Interest Group (DESIG) of the Design Society and the Institution of Engineering Designers. E&PDE 2018 will be held in the new Dyson School of Design Engineering at Imperial College, London, and is being jointly organised with the Royal College of Art, London with the theme of Design Education: Diversity or Conformity? The conference series stays in the UK next year with E&PDE 2019 Towards a New Innovation Landscape being hosted by the Department of Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The theme of building communities and sustainable futures inspired many of the authors, and the first three papers that I have chosen reflect this desire for new design thinking and new ways of working to build better solutions for all users. It is clear that many of the authors were inspired by the theme of Design Education: Collaboration and Cross-disciplinarity from the E&PDE 2016 Conference in Aalborg University, Denmark, with many examples of papers from mixed discipline teams or from academics working alongside colleagues from industry or NGOs. The final three papers that I have chosen discuss how colleagues have worked with others from different teams within their universities or from external organisations to bring valuable new insights into their education environments. Anne Britt Torkildsby (The Norwegian Research Laboratory for Universal Design, NTUT Norwegian University of Science and Technology) discusses her development of a critical design method in Critical Design in Universal Design Settings – Pedagogy Turned Upside Down. This method has been conceived as a way for students to explore immersion in extreme environments such as hospitals Page | 3 and prisons, and to consider the wellbeing of users in these situations. By adapting this method to universal design problems, she hopes to develop future designers that approach designing for all users in new and novel ways. Turning traditional universal design processes upside down, her method asks what it means to design for fundamental human needs. Her design method is a 3-step approach developed through 8 workshops in

It must be readable from far away and close-up, attract curiosity, be informative and communicate an idea. A poster is a large 2-dimensional surface with a fas- cinating illusion of space and perspective. Its design, depending on the content, has to comply with many factors such as the concept, an existing corporate identity, recognizability, readability originality, and of course artistic expression. But, how can a poster function under all these demands? What is design quality? What demands are put on the designer? Does the informa- tional content, on the one hand, and the medium of print, on the other hand, require a different approach to finding design solutions? How many design possibilities are there and which is the right one? How do you achieve an optimal result? Can the design process in turn have an influence on the content message? In the workshop we will analyze and question the approach- es necessary for a dynamic, contextually correct and aesthetically successful poster design.

  • How Interaction Design for Ceramics Exhibition Will Help Audiences to Have a Better Experience in Museums
    How interaction design for ceramics exhibition will help audiences to have a better experience in museums. A thesis submitted to the Graduate School College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Fei Xie July 24, 2013 B.E., Automation School, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), P. R. China, 2010 Committee: Craig M. Vogel, MID Chair Katie Parker, MFA Member Renee Seward, MGD Member Abstract The common ways of offering information and educating visitors in museums are providing audio, interpretive signs and video displays. However, non-interactive ways don’t work well at engaging audiences. Artifacts in most museums are not allowed to be touched by visitors. They are usually put into glass display cabinets for protection. This thesis focuses on identify issues of user experience design in museums and define interactive product requirements for museum exhibitions as a harmonious whole system in order to provide audiences exciting experiences during visiting. Among archaeological artifacts, ceramics play an important role in understanding a region’s culture and technology. However, for audiences from a different cultural background, it is hard to understand when there is a lack of contextual information. There are also lots of stories behind ceramics, which are worth detailed explanations. However, only a limited amount of information can be presented to audiences in the museums. For that reason, this thesis uses ceramics as an entry point and discusses how to present knowledge of exhibition subject and artifacts information to audiences by using interaction designs.

THE REGISTRAR OF THE UNIVERSITY To the President of the University: SIR~The year 1946-47 brought a considerable number of difficult ;tdmis­ sion problems that were different from those of the previous year. These problems were "different and difficult" because of urgent demands for the educational adjustments of the enormous number'of ser:vice men and women , returning to school after discharge from the armed forces, many of whom were not properly trained for college work. The enrollm~nt of serviCe men and women was 'increased from 7,280 in 1945-46 to 14,486 in 1946-47. ,Additional comments on enrollments for the 'year 1946-47 will be found later on in this report under the Statistical Ser:vice. ' Personnel.-Although there has been a decided trend of improvements in the training and experience of our new persomiel, nevertheless, we are still having considerable difficulty in securing members of the staff who desire permanency. We have had a great many changes during the year, but the situation is so much better than it was a year ago that we 'are well pleased at present.
