Abstract
The discussion presented within this report took place at the International Conference on Engineering Design 2023 at the Université de Bordeaux, France on Friday 28th July 2023. A panel discussion on Digital Solutions for Design Education was organised on the broad topic of design, engineering and technology education to discuss novel challenges in educating students on and with the next generation of digital solutions proposed by technology vendors. The panel included representatives of technology providers supporting Industry (Ansys, Dassault Systèmes and Immersion) and academia. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the existing challenges for design education and future opportunities to improve teaching and learning.
The panel session attracted an audience of academics and students. In turn, the panel began by introducing their companies and the technology solutions they offer. They each highlighted the challenges as they understand it from a technology vendor and educational perspective. Following this, four key questions were used to support the discussion.
These were:
• How new keywords/trends (AI, Digital Twin, AR/VR, sustainability) are embedded in your organisation and in your digital solutions?
• How far digital technology evolutions should impact teaching activities?
• How new technologies can foster future collaborations between academics and industries in the future?
• Is there a “dark side” of the evolutions of digital technologies in teaching/learning activities?
These questions guided the discussion however topics spanned across many questions reflecting the complex and wicked nature of technological interventions. In total the session lasted two hours. A recording of the session was transcribed, and key themes were identified.
