University of Cincinnati, USA

“Experiential Learning and Real-World Simulations: The Future of Design Education”

Synopsis: 
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the field of design has followed developments in business, technology, and culture. Design’s adaptability to continuously evolving environments is what makes its practices relevant in times of change. Design’s ability to maintain its relevance is what has helped to redefine the profile of the field and elevate the status of the designers in society. In return, design has never been more valued as an economic force, nor has it been as culturally influential as it is now. All types of organizations, including once-conservative management consultancies, financial organizations, banks, and even hospitals have begun to adopt “design thinking” as their guiding principle and are rapidly building their internal design competencies. But what does this mean for the future of design education?
