【 摘 要 】

With Taipei being nominated for the World Design Capital 2016, an event that emphasize "design thinking," issues such as identifying Taiwan's design education development trends and crucial factors influencing Taiwan's design industry development must be addressed for Taiwan's future design education. This study conducted a pilot study to investigate design department objectives, analysed designer abilities required by businesses, and referred to the design department evaluations. The results showed that for industrial design departments, issues that required most improvements were: (a) concerning those to better implement self-improvement mechanisms so that course learning objectives are adjusted to meet business expectations; and (b) Space and equipment should be upgraded. In addition to the upgrade, the actual requirements of the enterprise should be consulted for planning. In addition to making such changes, design departments should plan design education according to the actual requirements of businesses. The results of this study may be used as reference when engaging in department planning for the development of industrial design education in Taiwan.
