Perspective Chapter: Communication-Oriented Automobile Design by a Three-Dimensional Sculpture Educational Model: Narrowing the Gap between Company Work and Education System

Abstract

As the paradigm of the automotive industry is changing, new design attempts are being developed for automotive design in various fields. Design education needs to be changed in response to this rapidly changing automotive industry. Particularly, due to the specificity of automobile design work is progressing, with clay modeling as the center point of the design process it is necessary to provide professional learning about three-dimensional sculpture. However, the current undergraduate curriculum lacks the expertise of 3D sculpture education. Based on the previous studies, related to the design background field to reduce the gap with the business, I proposed an effective method for automobile design, ascribed by a 3D sculpture educational model. First, we proposed a more practical and systematic 3D sculpture educational model that can reduce the gap between practice and education to satisfy the educational model. Therefore, this study is based on the analysis of “automotive 3D sculpture elements” in order to creatively solve various problems Second, we proposed efficient communication methods for a professional designer in the field to learn with the competence of teamwork based on the types of communication networks. Third, we further analyzed the design critique types for evaluation and feedback in class usage and suggested the most effective methods.
