We want to hear directly from educators, professionals, and students about your thoughts on the current and future state of industrial design education. This issue will be framed around the concept of a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, threats) analysis. Use the fields below to share your thoughts, insights, and provocations. These can be done anonymously or with your name associated. Either way, please be honest 🙂 The responses will be compiled, reviewed, and included in the upcoming Winter 2023 issue of INNOVATION magazine.
Why SWOT? This type of framework can help us challenge assumptions, uncover blindspots, celebrate our successes, and strategize for the future. Our goal, when publishing the collected responses, is to provide a useful data set for the academic community to evaluate itself, reveal insights, and develop new approaches for creating inspiring learning environments and enabling educators to perform at their best.
