碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 工業設計系碩士班 === 95 === As the Global View (2007) reports, there are about 5000 design-major students going to work annually in Taiwan; however, the business companies compliant of only few students well-qualified. It indicates that these design students don’t even meet the requirements of the business companies. Based on the claim that the cultivation of design professionals is rooted from design education, according to the new vocational school curriculum of 95-academic-year, this study is to plan subject group and unified core curriculum, and emphasizes the concept of real group and empty department. In addition, through literature review, the required design abilities are collected and used to conduct interviews with professionals and scholars. According to the interview result, the researcher summarizes the most required basic design ability indexes: knowledge, aesthetic, creativity, expression, technique, and practice. These six ability indexes are suggested and used to develop the common basic ability for vocational school design education. For the cultivation of design ability, students need to be provided with related programs to learn for the purpose of meeting the full requirement of design education. There are ten programs included, such as Introduction to Design, Color Theory, Art Appreciation, Design Basic, Shape Design, Design Drawing, Designing painting, General Design, Computer Drawing, Project Work, etc. Among them, five programs are technique domain, three are knowledge domain , and two are affection domain. They are planned to be the core subjects. At last, according to the suggestions and approval from professionals and scholars in terms of “Design Ability Need”and “Cultivation Curriculum Design”, the result has proven that six ability indexes and ten subjects mentioned in the preset study can be applied to vocational school basic design curriculum.
