Abstract

The expanding role of design has led to a higher interest in design from non-design professionals. Yet, non-design professionals sometimes lack an understanding of what design is and what designers do. This study reports on the experience of teaching design to non-design students at Aalto University under a project called Design Inside. We interviewed Design Inside members and reviewed 139 answers submitted to Design Bits, an introductory online design course. The results of the study inform design education and give insights into how to support non-design students to learn about design.
