FUTURE OF DESIGN EDUCATION

The Future of Design Education initiative was conceived and founded in late 2019 by a partnership between the Design Lab of the University of California, San Diego, and IBM's Global Design Group. The World Design Organization joined as a co-sponsor. An intensive consensus-building process has resulted in a small executive team, a Steering Committee composed of leading designers from academia and industry, and more than 600 volunteers ranging from undergraduate students to distinguished deans, department chairs, and industry executives representing every region of the world. These volunteers populate our working groups and provide overall assessment and advice in the content development process... Just as Computer Science made sure that the recommendations were appropriate to a broad range of educational institutions, we intend to produce content and pedagogical suggestions which different kinds of institutions can use in whatever manner is useful and appropriate for the institution's..
