Title and Synopsis of the presentation
报告主题及摘要

Keyshot Title: Transforming the 21st century education for technically-grounded leaders and innovators
报告题目:倡导21世纪教育转型,培育“科技领袖和科技创新者”

Recognising that today’s innovations are heavily driven by cultural, social and symbolic elements, design has been recognised as a key for future innovation.Educators can harness design thinking and innovation in technology to inculcate in students such a mindset of innovative thinking. In this talk, how design thinking i.e., Big-D approach used at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) in helping students to develop a mindset of technically-grounded design covering the entire design process and value-chain of conception, development, prototyping, operation and maintenance for products, systems and services will be shared. How design projects are developed to constantly promote teamwork and collaboration, and to stimulate creativity and entrepreneurship within a multidisciplinary curriculum will be illustrated.  Participants will be able to understand how learning for students can be designed to inherently include risk-taking, critical thinking, data-analysis, decision making and encountering mistakes and failures that challenge the underlying assumptions and fundamentals. I will explain how a full 360° mind is trained, by combining theory (science) and practice (art), to create innovations for a betterment of society. In addition, I will also provide participants with an understanding of how active learning, coupled with physical experience and cognitive science-based pedagogies, further enhances the experience of technically-grounded design and innovation.

由于当今的创新主要受文化、社会和象征性元素驱动,因而设计被视为未来创新的关键。教育工作者可以利用并整合设计思维和技术创新,潜移默化地帮助学生形成创新思维。在这次演讲中,我将会和大家分享新加坡科技设计大学如何采用设计思维,即Big-D大设计理念与方法,帮助学生建立起技术主导型设计的思维模式。该思维模式涵盖整个设计过程与价值链,从产品、系统与服务的概念生成与发展,原型设计,到运营和维护。同时,我也将具体说明如何开发设计项目,以不断促进团队合作及协作,并在多学科课程体系中激发创造力和创业精神。课程设计中有意识地包括了冒险精神、批判性思维、数据分析、决策,以及挑战基本假设和原则所带来的挫折和失败。我将详述如何通过理论(科学)和实践(艺术)的有机结合培养360°思维,进而促进创新以推动社会的良好发展。此外,我还将分享如何把主动学习、实际经验和以认知科学为基础的教学法三者结合,来进一步增强科技设计和创新实践之体验。
