“Reforming and Upgrade” is the main trend in China manufacturing industry now. Advancing with “innovation design competitiveness” is recognised as the main way by government and society. In PRD area, the industry voices its concern, pressing to change the industrial design education from “General” to “Professional”. Business companies need young designers to possess the right skill sets, with more professional training, deeper understanding process and market before they are employed. The basic feature of the change is to define the role of professions more clearly.

The School of Innovation Design, GAFA, initiated the change in design education system from early 2011 and is driven by ”Studio system” and “Project system”. The objectives are: to arouse the research competence of staff by getting more projects from global and local business industry; to ignite students’ innovation energy; to open cooperation across professions; and to make future map with new structure, new models and new research directions.
