| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to introduce the EngUstrial Design education approach integrating ENGineering and indUSTRIAL design aspects used by the authors at the University of Malta. This approach is aimed at addressing the goal of educating mechanical engineers that are able to comfortably engage in both numeric and artistic activities. This paper discloses our challenges to implementing such an approach together with our emerging experiences in providing bachelor level design education at the University of Malta. Based on case-study observations, this paper outlines a number of lessons learnt that can be exploited by others interested in developing an EngUstrial Design training curriculum to help breed individuals that have a mix of both numeric intensive as well artistic design capabilities. |
