Conference Aim

 

The E&PDE conference will bring together representatives from education and industry who have an interest in sharing new perspectives on design education. The conference will provide a forum for educators, practitioners and students from product development, engineering and industrial design, together with industry to discuss current educational issues and the nature of design education now and in the future. This year’s conference theme, Design Education for creativity and Business Innovation aims to provide a platform for participants to explore how design education can impact upon and strengthen business innovation. Through this theme the conference aims to;

  • Provide a networking platform for a wide variety of participants
  • Explore how design education can trigger creativity to increase the business success of university and industrial partners
  • Explore how creativity in professional practice can help both design educators and business leaders promote engineering and increase business success in companies
  • Explore how business studies can contribute to the development of creativity and design performance
  • Encourage industry feedback to educators with ideas and practical opportunities in order to create a better platform for business success

These aims will be addressed through the following conference topics;

  • Design education in practice
  • Design methodology in education
  • Best practice in design education
  • Design education and business
  • Creativity in design education
  • International collaboration
  • Global product development
  • Linking Bachelor, Master and PhD level education
  • New design education paradigms
  • Synergies between engineering and product design education
  • Scientific methods for course evaluation
  • Professional perspectives for design students
  • Technology transfer through design
  • Research networks of design educators

In keeping with the inclusive ethos of the E&PDE conference and to broaden the opportunities to link design and business by creativity and innovation other stream proposals are welcomed. We invite you to send your proposals for other relevant topics to [email protected].

How to get to City University London

The conference will be held at the campus of City University London.

City University London is a special place. With skill and dedication, we have been using education, research and enterprise to transform the lives of our students, our community and the world for over a hundred years.

We are a leading international university and the only university in London to be both committed to academic excellence and focused on business and the professions.

We are proud of the quality of our education, research and enterprise and of our high rankings in recent surveys. Our University is:

  • Among the top five per cent of universities in the world (Times Higher Education World Rankings 2010/11)
  • Ranked 10th in the UK for graduate employability (The Times University Guide 2011)
  • Ranked 10th for graduate starting salaries (The Sunday Times University Guide 2011). 

Notably, the Financial Times rates our Sir John Cass Business School among the top three business schools in the UK and places our Executive MBA 10th in its worldwide rankings. 

The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) identified 15 areas of academic activity where City’s research was assessed as achieving world-leading quality in terms of originality, significance and rigour.

Our outlook is truly global. We welcome students, academics and professional staff from all around the world, work to international levels of research excellence and cultivate a growing network of international research partnerships.

We are located in the heart of London, within easy reach of several central Underground stations and just a few stops from the British Library and the West End. We are minutes away from the Square Mile – London’s world-famous financial district – and the headquarters of financial and professional institutions, major arts complexes and media offices, teaching hospitals and specialist medical research centres.

Since our foundation over a century ago, we have always enjoyed deep-rooted links with the City of London. The Lord Mayor of London is the Chancellor of the University, students attend their graduation ceremonies within the prestigious surroundings of Guildhall and many City of London livery companies are long-standing supporters of City.
