Interior design education has been developed in the West for over a century. Since 1985, when the Department of Interior Design was established at Chung Yuan Christian University, formal interior design education in Taiwan has been in place for 37 years. As of today, there are more than 20 interior design related departments in Taiwan universities, training 1,500 students each year.

 

In the face of the changing needs of environmental issues and the rapid development of technology, can the curriculum planning and teaching mode of interior design education in Taiwan meet the professional competencies required by talents and enable students to seamlessly connect with the needs of employment after graduation? It has become an urgent issue to be explored and solutions should be sought.

 

The forum will invite scholars from universities in Bangladesh，Indonesia，China, and Taiwan to give keynote speeches, and the chairs of interior design departments in universities will participate in the chairs' roundtable to discuss the professional competency, curriculum planning, teaching design, teaching materials and pedagogy, learning assessment, and other related topics of interior design. University faculty and industry experts are welcome to discuss the following courses in small groups: basic design (design fundamentals), design graphics, materials and construction, and design studio.
