Teaching reform and practice in curriculum of engineering science of industrial design

In economy transformation period of China, realization the transformation from "Made in China" into "Created in China" is extremely urgent. Enterprises, especially middle and small ones, need more industrial designers. They also put forward new demands on designer' knowledge structure. Designer must be able to solve not only product form design problems but also problems in production manufacturing. So, in the present industrial design education, it is important to improve students' ability to solve production manufacturing problems. For this purpose, we provide a new lesson named engineering science of industrial design. Teaching example is presented to show the effect of the course.
