Overview

Course Details

Being one of the interdisciplinary subject, the Industrial Design program at Jiangnan University stresses on the integration of multiple discipline. It focuses on the user analysis of industrial products, human-computer interaction, product epitaxial and services, technology implementation, as well as engineering structure knowledge and applications. 

It emphasizes on product pre-define and innovation and practice of user research methods, as well as the technology realization and manufacturing process in the latter part of the industrial product development. It gives full play to the advantages and features of the industrial design interdisciplinary, makes comprehensive use of design, psychology, marketing, management, sociology, computer science, machinery, materials and technology and other disciplines of knowledge.

The overall goal for this program is to 

• prepare students with holistic problem solving skills through project-based learning that covers the whole spectrum of design from identifying opportunities to realizing opportunities
• set a design education model that breaks down discipline boundaries between the sub-disciplines of design and potentially cross over with engineering, business, and etc
• to bridge the gap between typical fragmented design education and holistic approach for addressing problems in real life situations, and 
• address the wicked nature of design problems
