I recently presented a paper, on behalf of Ecodesign Centre Wales, at the 10th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona.

This conference, in partnership with the Design Society and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED), brought together representatives from education, government and industry with an interest in sharing new perspectives on design education.

The theme of the conference was ‘New Perspectives in Design’ and the questions underlying the theme included:

• How can educators better reflect industrial perspectives?
• What is the modern student’s perspective on design education?
• Can we consider our curricula from a future perspective
