POV: Broadening Perspectives in Design Education Walking out of an interview two years ago and not getting the job was a moment of clarity when I realized the administrator’s vision for the design and technology program was disappointingly limited to a traditional woodshop. My passion for design extends far beyond woodworking, encompassing a holistic approach that includes digital fabrication, user-centered design, fashion design, engineering design, electronics, and food design. This experience underscored the need for a broader understanding of design technology, one that fosters creativity, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world applications. If your school is pouring thousands of dollars into a learning and innovation space that is limited to a workshop, it’s time to reevaluate. #DesignEducation #HolisticDesign #InterdisciplinaryLearning #InnovationInEducation

?? Design for Disassembly (DfD) in Industrial Design isn't just an innovation—it's a commitment to sustainability. Designers have the power to create products that are not only functional but also environmentally responsible by allowing for easy disassembly, reuse, and recycling at the end of a product's life cycle. ?? By incorporating DfD principles like modularity and standardized connections, products can be upgraded, repaired, and reconfigured, extending their lifespan and reducing waste. This approach promotes resource efficiency, innovation, and a sustainable future for manufacturing. ?? Introducing DfD into student projects encourages a hands-on understanding of sustainability and circular economy principles, equipping future designers with the skills to create impactful, eco-friendly solutions.

Rethinking Design Education: Enhancing Student Engagement with Soft-Resistant Materials We need to rethink how we represent and communicate ideas, developing a culture where our concepts are made visible through easily manipulated tools. Woods and hard-resistant materials can be a turn-off for middle and high school students because of the rigor and technical skills required, often forgetting that they are not crafters. After replacing woods with soft-resistant materials, my design class became one that students enjoy, as products are easily reproducible from CAD to tangible prototypes. The unrealistic expectations of students, as mentioned by teachers in my network, need to be rethought. Design teachers, remember you are educators first. Students are being taught to think and become problem solvers, not just to craft. #STEMEducation #DesignThinking #CurriculumInnovation #StudentEngagement #EducationReform #21stCenturySkills #EdTech #ProblemSolving #TeachingStrategies

He is part of the Responsive Environments Group and a research and teaching assistant. "The more I work in textiles, the more I see the similarities between textiles and electronics — it is?fascinating! The way you make wires is similar to fibers — a process called thermo drawing. That's precisely how fibers are created; like cables and braidings...." #mit #engineering #design #textiles https://lnkd.in/eCayWv9F

Critique of Design Education in Middle and High Schools Design and design technology educators must move beyond the outdated view of design education as simply an extension of the industrial school model. This narrow perspective stifles creativity and leaves students unprepared for the demands of the modern world. Instead, we should prioritize teaching students rapid prototyping using sustainable materials and affordable tools—such as corrugated boards, PVC, rulers, straight edges, and X-Acto blades—enabling them to develop practical, innovative solutions while fostering critical thinking and adaptability. These materials not only promote sustainability but also encourage innovation through accessible resources. By utilizing quick cuts and simple assembly techniques, students can engage in hands-on learning that emphasizes practicality over traditional industrial methods. Moreover, it is crucial to prioritize the levels of representation and communication in design education. Students should learn to articulate their ideas effectively, collaborate with peers, and present their designs confidently. This holistic approach fosters a mindset that values creativity, sustainability, and communication—essential skills for the future.

Our team is continually inspired by how our MA Design Engineering (MADE) program students transform during the program into true bridge-builders between design and engineering. In our latest cohort's featured projects, you'll see something remarkable: designers who can confidently tackle technical challenges and engineers who thoughtfully craft user experiences. What makes us particularly proud isn't just the innovative projects they showcase - like an AI-integrated cooking assistant or a breakthrough medical device for endometriosis detection - but the deep appreciation our students develop for both disciplines during their time together. This profound respect for their counterparts' expertise and the ability to collaborate seamlessly across the design-engineering divide, combined with hands-on technical and creative skills, is at the heart of MADE. Our students and faculty don't just speak both languages - they champion both perspectives. Take a look at how our current cohort is bringing this vision to life: #RISD #RISD1877 Brown University School of Professional Studies #designengineering Brown University School of Engineering
