Creative problem-solving has been identified as one of the most critical future-proof skillsets we can develop in our society. When educating future designers, entrepreneurship skills are now considered essential; however, designers find it difficult to establish themselves as entrepreneurs. Therefore, graduate designers are increasingly in need of these skills to complement their creative ability. This paper offers information to academic institutions looking to implement entrepreneurship modules in existing design and creative programmes. The paper seeks to understand the entrepreneurship skills required for product design graduates through a case study. Current teaching practice is described, and interviews and co-design sessions with relevant stakeholders are conducted to inform future entrepreneurship education for product design students. From these findings, a module descriptor entitled ‘Entrepreneurship for Designers’ was created for an existing programme and delivered through both practice and theory. This module is intended to provide an understanding of the entrepreneurship process and to offer students the confidence to pursue design-related ventures post-graduation.

为产品设计专业的学生设计创业模块

解决创造性的问题已被认为是我们可以在社会中发展的最关键的,面向未来的技能之一。现在,在培训未来的设计师时,创业技能已被认为是必不可少的。然而,设计师发现很难将自己确立为企业家。因此,研究生设计师越来越需要这些技能来补充其创造能力。本文为希望在现有设计和创意计划中实施企业家精神模块的学术机构提供信息。本文旨在通过案例研究来了解产品设计毕业生所需的创业技能。描述了当前的教学实践,并进行了与相关利益相关者的访谈和共同设计课程,以为产品设计专业的学生提供未来的创业教育。从这些发现中,为现有程序创建了名为“设计师的企业家精神”的模块描述符,并通过实践和理论进行了介绍。该模块旨在提供对创业过程的理解,并使学生有信心在毕业后继续从事与设计相关的事业。
