We have been struggling with how to position design education in K-12 schools. Is it an art class? A technology education class? Does it include graphic design, product design, environment design, and experience design?
I'll be interested to hear people's comments about the Georgia Tech proposal to offer a generic BS in Design. http://andDESIGNmagazine.blogspot.com ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vicki Haberman [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 2:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Bringing your attention to something that impacts all of design (education)! Opinions, thoughts? Georgia Tech is currently planning to eliminate the undergraduate degrees in industrial design, building construction & architecture in favor of a generic BS in Design. If implemented, the change will likely impact all design education as schools, looking for ways to cut costs, follow suit. Several design educators & professionals from across the US & Asia have voiced extreme concern and endorsed the cause. Please help us reach our goal of 1,000 signatures! Vote NO! to Georgia Tech's eliminating their undergrad degrees in industrial design, building construction & architecture!: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/No-BS-in-Design Also interested to hear everyone's thoughts?
