The Faculty of Industrial Design educates designers preparing them to creative work in the doma-in of industrial design. Moreover, the Faculty manages design, research, study and artistic works,co-operating within those areas with many institutions, e.g. The Institute of Industrial Design inWarsaw, The Central Institute for Protection of Workplace in Warsaw, Committee for ScientificResearch, Ergonomic Committee and Ergonomic Commission of Polish Academy of Sciences,Jagiellonian University, Academy of Mining and Metallurgy, Academy of Economics in Cracow,Cracow University of Technology, The Association of Industrial Designers (SPFP) and manufactur-ing companies.

Almost since the beginning of its existence, The Faculty has participated in the activities of inter-national design organisations: ICSID (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design) andICOGRADA (International Council of Graphic Design Associations.) Prof. Andrzej Paw³owski waselected Vice-President of ICSID in the years 1971�1973, and since 1994 the Faculty has been amember of this organisation. Prof. Ryszard Otrêba was the Vice-President of ICOGRADA in theyears 1972�1977.

The Faculty keeps contacts and co-operates with many foreign universities and takes part in inter-national co-operation and university exchange programmes, i.e.:� 1992�1996 Joint European Project TEMPUS JEP-02275 with the universities in Manchester,

Dublin and Warsaw,� 1996�1999 Joint European Project TEMPUS JEP-11101 with the universities in Kent (Canter-

bury-Maidstone-Rochester) and Toulouse,� since 1996 a student exchange programme CEEPUS H-41 with the universities in Budapest,

Ljubljana, Zagreb, Prague, Brno and Bratislava,� since 1997 an exchange programme Socrates/Erasmus with the universities in Darmstadt,Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Offenbach, Bielefeld, Barcelona, Kent, Helsinki, Stokholm, Göteborg,Milan, Paris, Turku and Eindhoven.

The students and the graduates of the Faculty participate and gain significant successes in inter-national design competitions, e.g. in Japan, Finland, Korea.

KIND OF CLASSES: practicalSTATUS OF CLASSES: elective course of core instructionAIMS OF INSTRUCTION: Acquiring theoretical and practical knowledge on the design methods in industrial design. Teaching the

following skills: analysing the existing solutions, selecting the information, making a list of evaluationcriteria, formulating the design problems and preparing a list of design assumptions, verifying the solutionsthrough trials and experiments carried out independently by the students and on the basis of existingaiding design techniques and methods, system and its surrounding analysis, preparing a timetable ofdesign work with the clear outline of stages and selecting appropriate means of recording the particularparts of the design, among other things using specialised computer software, writing dissertations withregard to solving a design problem, carrying out preparatory research, working out the results, formulatingconclusions, evaluating the state of the art research.

CONTENT OF INSTRUCTION: Preparing the students for design work with the use of methods and techniques of formulating andsolving design problems. The afore-mentioned problems are practised by the students on the examples ofobjects-products treated as elements of larger practical structures. An object-product is only a means ofrealisation of defined practice process. The features of the user and the object-product as well as theconditions of the realised process constitute its value. The tasks include 4 problem areas according todefined knowledge and skills indispensable in the design practice:problem area 1 � basic level: analysing the selected object by defining its practical, ergonomic, aesthetic,construction, technological, and similar properties and relations existing between them;problem area 2 � advanced level: the concept of practical structure of an object realising the definedpractical process and its presentation in the functional model;problem area 3 � specialisation: a practical object design being an element of a system realising thedefined practice process and presentation of a prototype or model;problem area 4 � diploma work: a practical object design being an element of a system realising thedefined practice process and presentation of a prototype model as well as working out methods or adevice aiding in the design process.The curriculum may be realised among other things on the example of the following problems: a seat �a sitting person � a practical situation. The department has at its disposal rich methodological resourcesin the form of tools and equipment aiding in the seat designing and extensive literature on the subject.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION: Individual tutorials. Seminar classes preceded by a lecture with slide show. Comments on students� transi-tional work.

CONTENT OF INSTRUCTION: The curriculum includes multiaspect form study of the technical object and creating a design synthesis,offering new values in the sphere of use and aesthetics. Special attention is paid to ergonomic criteriaapplied as �a measure of man� shaping artificial environment.Basic level: shaping the manipulation elements and sets (e.g. holders, handgrips, keyboards, and toys.)Advanced level: shaping objects and spatial structures of the workplace.Specialisation and diploma work: shaping of the complex function and utility objects with regard to theirinteraction with the human being. Developing the theoretical problems of human subjectivity in shapingthe means of work.The problems existing at particular levels are treated flexibly according to students� predispositions andinterests and offers of co-operation with industry.The curriculum assumes the basic knowledge of design methods, the fundamentals of technologies andconstruction, the skill of drawing of an idea and final presentation of a designed object, skilful use ofphotographic technique and rendering drawing as well as CAD software.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION: Seminars, individual and group consultations, visits to the companies co-operating in the realisation ofprojects. Teaching aids: selected reading sources, standards, physical and computer models of the humanbeing, techniques of recording the process of man and object interaction.

REMARKS: Admission limit in the studio is 12 persons including the students in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th year.

The issues of colour in painting, architecture anddesign.Advanced level: specified design tasks are executed in the following area problems:� creating space: city landscape, architecture, recreational spaces, playgrounds, parks;� creating space: designing functionally varied interiors (manufacturing companies, hospitals, schools,

theatres, etc.), exhibits;� product colourist interpretations, co-ordination of colourist palettes for various branches of manufacturing

industry; issues of colourist identification;� colour in visual communication and advertising;� visualisation of slogans, ideas, concepts, etc.;� script designing, film requisites; video film productions.Specialisation and Diploma work: solving concrete design tasks within the above-mentioned group areas,frequently extended by historical view, considerations and reflections including theoretical issues basedon vast literature on the subject.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION: Lectures, design exercises, consultations with the specialists from various areas, tutorials, diploma seminars,and discussions. Teaching aids: lectures in written form prepared by the teacher, sets of slides, a set ofvideo films, atlases of colours, samples of colours.

KIND OF CLASSES: practicalSTATUS OF CLASSES: obligatoryAIMS OF INSTRUCTION: Topics and methods of executing the exercises favour independent experimenting, encourage the students

to search for unconventional design solutions. Activities, which have this character, are understood as aprocess, whose essence is to make order and structure in various aspects and relations, both logical andsemantic.

CONTENT OF INSTRUCTION: According to their curriculum assumptions, design fundamentals play a double teaching role as a place ofactivities open to various intentions and inspirations of the students in the adjacent areas of design, art,literature and imagination theatre and as a cognitive basis of conscious, emotionally mature and motivateddesign decisions. This duality is reflected in the topics of design exercises, which link the intuitive methodsof search for form and expression proper to artistic activities, with elements of logic and methodologicaltools, as characteristic of research activities.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION: Lectures, design practice, seminars with the participation of visiting lecturers.
