디자인주도 혁신을 위한 신기술융합디자인 교육의 방향에 관한 고찰 : DX(Digital Experience) 융합 콘텐츠 디자인 중심으로

With the advent of the 4th industrial era, the pace of environmental change accelerates and the emergence of a hyper-connected society that completely breaks the boundaries of existing industries, technological convergence has become a keyword that penetrates the 4th industrial revolution era. In fact, demand for new designs and designers is increasing in new technologies with high growth potential such as robots, mobility, IoT, AI, and AR/VR big data. The design role is gradually expanding to an area that provides special meaning and value by connecting humans, the environment, technology, society, and culture into a concept, and the needs of the industry are also required to be design-led new technology convergence talent. From this point of view, this paper emphasized the importance of convergence education at home and abroad to overcome the limitations of existing educational methods in the field of design education and respond to changes. First, through a multidisciplinary approach and new technology convergence education, an educational direction that combines fields such as engineering, design, and management was presented and key elements were derived. Second, a plan was proposed to develop design leadership skills in collaboration, coordination, and harmony through practical linkage education. Finally, a track composition was proposed focusing on digital experience (DX) convergence content design to enhance the importance of digital tools and technology utilization education and digital capabilities. Through this study, we recognize the importance of design roles and the possibility of changes in convergence education, and we expect it to be used as a reference for fostering key talents leading the 4th industrial era in the future.
