We have been struggling with how to position design education in K-12 schools.
Is it an art class? A technology education class? Does it include graphic
design, product design, environment design, and experience design?
I'll be interested to hear people's comments about the Georgia Tech proposal to
offer a generic BS in Design.

Subject: [IxDA Discuss] Bringing your attention to something that impacts
all of design (education)! Opinions, thoughts?
Georgia Tech is currently planning to eliminate the undergraduate
degrees in industrial design, building construction architecture in
favor of a generic BS in Design. If implemented, the change will
likely impact all design education as schools, looking for ways to
cut costs, follow suit.
Several design educators professionals from across the US Asia
have voiced extreme concern and endorsed the cause.
Please help us reach our goal of 1,000 signatures!
Vote NO! to Georgia Tech's eliminating their undergrad degrees in
industrial design, building construction architecture!:
