Design Education as Innovation Broker through Making, Pivot Thinking, Autopoiesis and Expansive Learning  \nMauricio Novoa, Western Sydney University, Australia  \nAbstract  \nThis article elaborates on design research in a final capstone industrial design studio unit and on the application of outcomes over eight years within a School of Engineering and its recent incarnation as School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics. Research and curriculum innovation linked students to the new global design-driven innovation agenda as knowledge workers leading by creativity and intellectual capital. An international design studio project with a professional design agency style was embedded in the first instalment of the research. Students worked as junior designers with industry experts who couched them with a work integrated learning approach. A second instalment expanded to learning concurrent and agile development. An open program recognised students’ backgroundsand experiences to create a community of learning curriculum through critical making, pivot thinking, autopoiesis and expansive learning. These contributed to also establish CDIO (conceiving, designing, implementing, operating) and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) initiatives as ways to procure evidence and facilitate production. Technology effects on design knowledge flows were addressed with participatory action research, information and communication technologies, humancomputer interaction, e-manufacturing, fabrication and rapid prototyping tools. Findings indicated the need to update design education to achieve modern design artefact and knowledge construction. The greatest challenge was behavioural rather than technological. Institutional preconditioning assumed students as consumers and education as transmission skill transfer. A shift to transformative learning was possible by empowering participants to work within modern industry integrated benchmarks and achieve unique value propositions and minimum viable products that were ready to market outcomes  \nKey words  \nautopoiesis, constructionism, critical making, expansive learning, pivot thinking, transformative pedagogy  \nIntroduction  \nThis article elaborates on an eight-year research project in a final capstone industrial design studio unit. There was two years’ preparation, three years’ design research with ethics approval and another three for applications of outcomes to improve education (after a two years’ interval) . The article adds to another paper explaining technology within an international design studio (IDS) project attached to the unit (Author, 2010) . This paper focuses on participants’ behaviour, cognitive and social learning through critical making,  \npivot thinking, autopoiesis and expansive learning. Research showed new levels of meaning and knowledge construction when students became active learners and junior designers within a design agency-like environment. Historically, design education was embedded in goods-centred economies and attached to specialised niches, machineries and places of work which owned the means of production. Designers mostly executed briefs handed down from employers or clients with expertise mainly based on crafting, manufacturing and aesthetic flair. Digital technologies and globalisation progressively changed this landscape since the 1970s. New competency gaps turned innovation and productivity towards soft skills, information technology intensive industries (IT), information communication technologies (ICT), and new forms of manufacturing. Today, this shift requires graduates to satisfy market and social demands with novel forms of creative intelligence. Education has been slow in recognising students’ need to transition from artisan craftsmanship and computer operation trial-error empiricism, to a knowledge workers’ participatory, connected, intellectual, portable and scalable design intelligence based on science-based experimenta","cbCaitqpT0M4f9RU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitqpT0M4f9RU","pdf",6088925,34,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Method\n## Autopoiesis\n## Expansive learning","[{\"question\":\"What research setting and timeline does the article describe?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a final capstone industrial design studio unit with two years of preparation, three years of design research with ethics approval, and another three years applying outcomes to improve education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article connect design education to innovation benchmarks?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that design education should align students with modern design-driven innovation agendas, using studio projects and learning methods such as critical making, pivot thinking, autopoiesis, and expansive learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenge does the article identify as most difficult—technology or behavior?\",\"answer\":\"The greatest challenge is described as behavioural rather than technological.\"}]","Industrial Design Education as Innovation Broker - Mauricio Novoa - Autopoiesis and Expansive Learning | PDF",1792089651,86]
