Design Besic is one of the basic courses of specialty, the purpose of which is to make students establish correct body, color concept and deep understanding of the concept of composition, to train students' creative thinking and to cultivate students' spatial imagination ability. Through the training of plane, color and composition in space, students are required to master the basic principles and application rules of formal language and color, to improve the cognitive and judgment ability of vision, to strengthen the visual expression ability and color application ability of discovering, perceiving and creating constituent forms, to cultivate students' basic understanding and understanding ability of visual elements, and to lay a foundation for students' design and creation in the future. Main contents of the course It includes explaining the relationship between composition form and nature, inspiring students to observe, discovering the form language of nature, and summarizing and summarizing it from the composition form of nature. The effect of composition form in the thought and emotional expression is introduced from the art form, and the close relationship between the composition form and the design expression is analyzed and the composition language and the form rule are master. The course unit is divided into two parts, three sections: The first part consists of plane and color, with five weeks and 40 hours; The second part is the basic application in space, the class hours are three weeks, 24 class hours.

Design Thinking and Expression

“Design Thinking and Expression” is a compulsory basic course in the first year of undergraduate design education, which plays a supporting role in the cultivation of professional basic theories and basic skills.
This course takes a global perspective and applies systematic thinking to comprehensively introduce the relevant content of design thinking and expression, including: basic theories and knowledge of design thinking, design thinking methods and tools, problem definition and insight, creative generation and sketch design, prototype production and testing, team cooperation and communication, etc.

Form Creativity

The mastery of form and the ability to innovate in the field of design are core competencies within the discipline. As a foundational course in the design curriculum, this course places emphasis on cultivating students' perception, understanding, creative, and expressive abilities regarding form. Building upon knowledge from related courses, the curriculum progressively deepens students' comprehension of form. More importantly, the course integrates elements such as humanities and technology into form education. This approach enables students, who have already acquired proficiency in designing form elements, to scrutinize and comprehend form from a broader perspective, facilitating the exploration of creative form design. The ultimate aim is to effectively nurture students' capacity for innovative form design.
The course will predominantly explore teaching through the following aspects:
Form and Emotion: Form is a pivotal expressive language in design, and emotion is a crucial content. Understanding the inherent connection between form and various emotions is essential; it is also the key by which designers infuse vitality into their creations.
Form and Function: Form, in the designer's mind, is intrinsically linked to function. Achieving harmony between form and function is a central aspect of form design. The course will aid students in comprehending the relationship between form and function, laying a strong foundation for their future professional pursuits.
Form and Culture: Form itself is an external manifestation of spirit, thus capable of carrying cultural essence. Knowledge of relevant cultures enhances the cultural value of creative form ideas.
Form and Science: Science and technology significantly influence form. For instance, changes in data directly impact form. Extracting inspiration from science is a vital source for form creativity.
Form and Technology: The course itself will adapt to changes in design technology, guiding students to employ novel and distinctive modes of expression in their explorations of creative form design.
Form and Expression: Expression is the backbone of design education. Proficient expression is necessary to convey the intrinsic significance of form and enable it to function as an effective tool for communication with the external world.

2、Specialized Core Course

Introduction

Design project I

"Product Theme Design 1" is a compulsory course for undergraduates majoring in product design. This course is specially set up for the subdivision of design disciplines - product design. While the course guides students to have a more systematic and comprehensive understanding and cognition of product design, it is hoped that through the course, students will have a deeper understanding of the product design process, a more comprehensive thinking about product design thinking, and a more systematic understanding of product design methods.
The content of this course is mainly divided into two parts, focusing on the innovative design of products (morphological bionics) based on user needs, scene attributes, and natural attributes. At the same time, it focuses on forward-looking design, conceptual design, and Think and explore diverse themes such as low-carbon design and sustainable design. This course is not just a simple design of product functional form, but guides students to establish a multi-dimensional comprehensive thinking framework based on requirements, attributes, and forms to carry out product design, and ultimately enables students to have more systematic product innovation design capabilities.
The course development of "Product Theme Design 1" is divided into three teaching stages: early stage, middle stage and late stage. The pre-teaching stage is mainly based on the in-class and extra-curricular learning, through the collection-analysis-accumulation of excellent design cases and available materials to establish a resource library based on course teaching; the mid-term teaching stage requires students to complete the relevant Theme coursework, and then check and fill in the gaps according to the homework evaluation; in the later stage of teaching, students are required to integrate the teaching content of the course, carry out product innovation design for the design theme of the specific scene, form a systematic design plan and report and display.

Design project III focuses on cultivating students' innovation and comprehensive product design abilities. This is achieved through the analysis of design steps and tools, coupled with the integration of theoretical and methodological knowledge acquired from previous foundational courses. The course sets up relevant product design themes and defines and analyzes these themes. Drawing upon design data such as related design cases and literature, students study the resolution paths of issues related to the design theme within usage scenarios and user contexts. By discussing the optimal product embodiment for the design theme and incorporating processes like analyzing user pain points during product usage, students can effectively grasp systematic design research methods in product design. Subsequently, the course covers a series of design stages, including product design positioning research, creative product design, user research for products, design technology exploration, design iteration, and the articulation of design narratives and drawings. Through course learning, students ultimately acquire the ability to develop targeted design proposals, thus possessing fundamental capabilities to engage in product design work and laying a solid foundation for their future careers.
Design project III emphasizes the cultivation of integrated design capabilities, with a primary focus on sustainable product design. Sustainable product design involves contemplating and exploring diverse pathways towards sustainable development from a design perspective. Guided by the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the course examines the role of design and its intervention methods in sustainable development. Through explanations of design theory and analyses of case studies, the course uncovers the significance, value, and methods of sustainable product design. It nurtures students' thinking patterns for sustainable product design, establishes a corresponding knowledge framework for sustainable product design, facilitates comprehension of the objectives and tasks of sustainable product design, and imparts the fundamental processes of sustainable product design.
