The investigator who is a Chinese student studying abroad in Korea studied industry design in a Chinese university and is keeping it on during the process as a graduate student in Korea. The content and purpose of this paper is to compare China's educational process of industry design with Korean, and bring forward new methods for China's design education process.
In the national and overseas market of Korea, the competitive power of a product does not only depend on production technological capacity. As the product design more and more controlling the competitive power of product, for enterprises, the product design has become the most dominant method to enhance the competitive power of product.
Under the economic system of contemporary capitalism, much results have been made from the ideas of dominance in design, which are affected by the international economy, and much attentions have been put into the design related revival policy.
The design education of Korea University is trying to make an effort to be adapted to the changing market through the renovations in educational process. China is comparatively slower in this aspect than other countries. Since the reform and opening policies was put in practice in 1979, the organizing of design subject has started to be booming.In interim period of 1980s, only 20 universities possessed design education system. Later on, as many universities owning single major carried out recombine and made up university scale, most of universities has offered design subject, the number of which has been up to 400 by 2002.
However, because of the remains of old customs and habits, some aspects of the design education were pointed out to be improper and needed innovating. In China, industry design still belongs to new-style scale; many aspects need to refer to overseas advanced education concept and system. The comparison and analysis of industry design between China and Korea is a method to solve such problems. The comparison and understanding of training process indicate its importance in side face in the two counties’ understanding and development, the exchange of industry design, the correct understanding of students studying abroad and who intend to study abroad for the education process.
Certainly, the purpose to improve Chinese industry design education demands a settlement for the existing problems of Chinese industry design. Some of the problems were raised by Chinese conditional habits, but current internationalized age needs many cases related to design education, they can obtain answers from the existing circumstances of Korean design education. The direction of Chinese design education that the investigator obtained from her research is art educational process approach in design education, and become five issues such as the digitalization of modernization-era concept, the importance of industrial-academia collaboration, internationalization of education, specialization and creativeness act.
