메이커산업과 디자인·공학 융합교육의 방향

Abstract

Education in maker industry is to help students figure out problem and solve by themselves via a great deal of information and knowledge. There is many possibility in new industry maker movement. This education case study to examine the connection between University Engineering and foundation study of industrial design for maker. Contents to explore the possibility of design thinking, planning, production process for the engineering students. One of the final goal of this research is composed of research applying such the industrial design in engineering education. Another is aming to let students attempt creativity and attempts regarding value. Creative thinking in engineering-design is not only making something new, but reunion or reconstructing of existing already in this world. This kinds of thinking start finding problems and complete by making things better through solving the problems. It is not recommended to make students conduct one large projects for the whole semester. Students need a understanding of market , consumer lifestyle, and product developing. Instead, design course instructors should better repeat short turnaround projects in similar formats. This will help students be able to predict what they are supposed to do and prepare them in advance. The most important success factor in offering an effective engineering- design class is to build up students’ confidence in communicating in design with their instructor and other students in class. The new industry makers carried out investigative process regarding two fundamental questions of discovering value for function and aesthetic resolution. I hope that connection of engineering and design education can be studied further for its new method and challenge as an ever changing and developing applied practical study.
