Design 4.0: Pedagogic best practice for technology-driven design futures

该项目为伦敦布鲁内尔大学设计学院和蔚山国家科学与技术研究所设计系之间的网络和合作提供了一个平台。该项目还将受益于英国设计委员会、大韩民国韩国设计促进研究所(KIDP)和英国中央研究实验室(CRL)的参与。为了作为协作平台，该项目采用了与合作伙伴相关且适合双方的活动和活动的重点，因为他们的设计方法是历史性的、以技术为导向的。作为起点，我们将研究技术驱动的设计(即由人工智能等颠覆性、新兴技术驱动的设计)如何应对韩国和英国面临的一些重大社会挑战(即人口老龄化、可持续经济、能源安全)。通过一系列活动和活动，我们将考虑未来设计师将技术通过设计应用到人们生活中所需的技能和知识。这些将有助于探索未来设计课程开发和实施的教学工具、方法和途径的想法。未来的设计教育旨在为学生提供技能和知识，通过技术驱动的设计来应对巨大的挑战，在技术和人的交叉点工作。因此，网络项目的重点是探索和更好地理解未来设计师的技能和知识必须如何改变，以应对颠覆性技术(例如人工智能)的挑战和机遇。在这方面，该项目是一项努力的一部分，目的是了解设计教育如何最好地在人与技术的交汇点发挥作用，为英国和韩国即将到来的重大挑战提供解决方案。这将通过一系列战略性的现场、在线和面对面的联网活动来实现，这些活动将在伦敦布鲁内尔大学、英国和韩国信息技术研究所提供。这些活动的目的既是为了提供交流的机会(包括早期职业研究参与)，也是为了促进未来在与技术驱动的未来设计教育的最佳实践相关的主题上获得资金的工作，包括设计如何通过技术驱动的设计创新为巨大的社会挑战做出贡献。随着英国和韩国对包括设计在内的创意艺术的资金减少，该项目是一项及时的干预措施，旨在缓解目前设计面临的教育挑战。该网络项目的范围将扩大到包括英国和韩国的主要合作伙伴(英国设计委员会、韩国设计促进研究所)。该项目将为布鲁内尔设计学院和UNIST设计部之间更大规模的资金获取和可持续合作奠定基础。该项目还将寻求扩展到Brunel和UNIST Design之外，包括布鲁内尔大学伦敦分校和UNIST的合作伙伴。UNIST和Brunel Design作为技术驱动型设计学校的历史身份将为网络项目的重点和活动提供进一步的基础。

The project provides a platform for networking and collaboration between Brunel University London, School of Design and UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology), Department of Design. The project will also benefit from participation by The Design Council in the UK, and The Korean Institute of Design Promotion (KIDP), Republic of Korea and Central Research Laboratory (CRL), UK. To act as platform for collaboration, the project adopts a focus for activities and events that is relevant to and appropriate for both partners due to their historic, technology-driven approach to design. As a starting point, we will examine how technology-driven design (i.e. Design driven by disruptive, emergent technologies like AI) may address some of the big societal challenges facing both Korean and UK (i.e. aging populations, sustainable economy, energy security). Through a series of activities and events, we will then consider the skills and knowledge required of future designers to apply technology through design to peoples lives. These will then inform an exploration of ideas towards pedagogic tools, methods and approaches to the development and implementation of future design curriculum. The future design education will aimed at providing students the skills and knowledge to work at the intersection between technology and people in addressing big challenges through technology-driven design.Thus, the networking project's focus is to explore and better understand how the skills and knowledge of future designers must change to respond to challenges and opportunities of disruptive technologies (for example, Artificial Intelligence). In this the project is part of an effort to understand how design education can be best placed to work at the intersection between people and technology to provide solution to big challenges on the horizon in the UK and Korea. This will be achieved through a strategic series of on-site, on-line and in-person networking activities, delivered across Brunel University London, UK and UNIST Korea. These activities are designed to both provide opportunity for exchange (including early career research involvement), and stimulate work towards future funding acquisition on topics related to best practice in design education for technology-driven futures, including how design may contribute to big societal challenges through technology-driven design innovation. With reduced funding for the creative arts, including design, in the UK and Republic of Korea, the project is a timely intervention aimed at mitigating education challenges now facing design. The networking project's scope will be expanded to include key UK and Korean partners (Design Council UK, Korean Institute of Design Promotion). The project will act a primer for larger funding acquisition and sustainable collaboration between Brunel Design School and UNIST Department of Design. The project will also look to expand beyond Brunel and UNIST Design, to include partners from across Brunel University London and UNIST. Both UNIST and Brunel Design's historic identities as technology-driven design schools will provide further foundation for the networking project focus and activities.
