ABSTRACT

This study investigates digital prototyping in undergraduate industrial education through a case study of two pilot projects and a new elective and project-based course. It explores the literature on digital prototyping, open design, and sustainability, analyses student projects through the case study, and discusses the findings in relation to the literature review. In the study, two frameworks are suggested that aim to guide digital prototyping education in the industrial design field. The first framework aims to frame the content, and the second seeks to frame the context for the student projects. The first framework focuses on the relationship between the completeness of the products when they meet the users, the level of users’ design skills, and possible user-intervention types to the product. The second framework focuses on environmental and economic sustainability, considering the benefits and risks of four possible scenarios according to the user-engagement type.

摘要

本研究通过对两个试点项目和一门新的选修和基于项目的课程的案例研究，调查了本科工业教育中的数字原型设计。它探索有关数字原型制作、开放式设计和可持续性的文献，通过案例研究分析学生项目，并讨论与文献综述相关的发现。在这项研究中，提出了两个框架，旨在指导工业设计领域的数字原型制作教育。第一个框架旨在构建内容，第二个框架旨在构建学生项目的背景。第一个框架侧重于产品满足用户时的完整性、用户设计技能水平和可能的用户干预类型之间的关系。
