Abstract
This article discusses the study of integrating cross-border thinking into talent cultivating pattern of industrial design, which breaks the traditional talent cultivation pattern system of industrial design and carries out a research from the following three aspects: making training plans, creating cross curricular group among college and department associations, building a cross-border team of teachers. By this way, it can achieve interdisciplinary teaching and practical guidance, and construct the mode of talent cultivating with “cross-border” philosophy as the main body. The colleges, who carry on the reform of teaching pattern of industrial design with a cross-border way, expand the innovation vision of teachers and students, meet the demand for personnel in the employment market, improve the innovation ability of university students, and increase the employment rate of graduates and employer satisfaction level.
Highlights
At present, many domestic universities have established industrial design majors
Some industrial design related majors in China are derived from art majors, and some are derived from the mechanical design majors, so many of their teaching models are using the ones from art or engineering majors, neglecting the relationship between talent cultivation of university and the development of market, society and science and technology, causing the knowledge learned in the ‘ivory tower’ unable to solve the problems encountered outside of it, leading to students who graduated from industrial design majors cannot meet the requirements of the global labor market, so that the college students would not be hired just after graduation
Design educators of America suggest that students should not be proficient in one subject too early, but should be widely involved in many subjects, so as to have a broad career choice[3].the teaching goal of cross-border talent cultivation for industrial design should train the art design talents with T-type knowledge structure and national cultural heritage together with multiple international perspectives, who know the new trend of current international design development well, who carry out design cooperation and communication across regions and cultures, and who become multi-discipline interdisciplinary talents with innovative consciousness and innovative abilities
Summary
Many domestic universities have established industrial design majors. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1000 colleges offering industrial design related majors in China, even some colleges establish independent school of art and design. Some industrial design related majors in China are derived from art majors, and some are derived from the mechanical design majors, so many of their teaching models are using the ones from art or engineering majors , neglecting the relationship between talent cultivation of university and the development of market, society and science and technology, causing the knowledge learned in the ‘ivory tower’ unable to solve the problems encountered outside of it, leading to students who graduated from industrial design majors cannot meet the requirements of the global labor market, so that the college students would not be hired just after graduation. Benefit from the development of new technologies such as Internet, Intelligence, 3D printing and online teaching, cross-disciplinary teaching integrating business, science and technology, art and other multi-specialties is the hot topic and prevailing trend of industrial design education in the 21st century
