Typical topics of inquiry include computer simulation and animation, interface and interaction design, industrial tools, and “smart” products.

–Design Education is directed toward the planning, development, and evaluation of new educational materials and instructional programs pertinent to the teaching of industrial, interior, or visual communication design at the university level. Research typically concerns design teaching methods, and the development of theoretical and critical tools that can be applied in design studio and classroom settings.
-Design Management and Planning设计管理与设计规划(m.a.)
–Design Management and Planning focuses on the study of theories, techniques, and tools related to the efficient organization and management of design activities, and to the effective planning of complex design programs and systems.
