Until 1910: Everything was function, Design was making the piece beautiful (or it was not needed because the piece was beautiful)

4. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
Until 1910: Everything was function, Design was making the piece beautiful
1920: Form follows function

Until 1910: Everything was function, Design was making the piece beautiful
1920: Form follows function
Nowadays: Everything is highly designed function

Peter Goodhew indicated it in his presentation:
In the times of invisible technique we do not more have the „beautiness of engineering effort“
Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009

9. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
Until today our cultures are coined by the „BAUHAUS“ or International Style.
Most uf us think until the modern times :
To be engaged in function is enough,
Design is a direct result of functional acting.
Designers can add our product the finishing touch, not more
But this is wrong nowadays
Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009

10. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
Today Design is not the logically, automatically result of engineering, Design is absolutely separated from the engineering effort.
And instead: Design is more than in earlier times an integrated part of the product.
Engineers have to find a new approach to the finished product.
Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009

11. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
Engineers have to find the benefit of design as an equivalent benefit in the product.

12. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009

13. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
And this is our program:
All products, all engineering solutions are an integration from
Technology
Business
Design
Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009

14. Udo Onnen-Weber CDIO Conference 7. – 10. June 2009
We are in the beginning. Only a few programs follow this goal.
Most of them are integrating one or more design theory or design practice courses and a more or less integrated exchange of knowledge and/or persons between the faculty of design and the faculty of technology.
Most of this programs are Master programs. But we intend to begin with the design integration in the first year of the bachelor ( the first design based project)
Our goal is visible in the Master of Multimedia Technology in the Faculty of Engineering, department Electrical Engineering

Compulsary courses in special technologies – 15%
Design based projects with team-teaching of Engineers and Designers – 40%
Elective courses in Business, Design or Technology - 30%
All projects have a design student as supervisor / tutor
Most projects are Industry Projects
a lot of the theses deliver a patent or a similar idea-protection
