디지털 기술의 발전으로 디자인 대상, 대상의 속성, 디자이너의 역할이 변화하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 변화된 디자인 환경의 새로운 디자인 도구로써 프로토타이핑의 역할을 재조명하고 인터랙티브 디지털 제품을 디자인하는 과정에 디자이너들이 적극적으로 활용할 수 있는 다양한 프로토타이핑 도구들을 조사 분석하였다. 관련 분야의 프로토타이핑 방법을 분석하여 프로토타입의 완성도, 디자인 프로세스, 디자인 대상과의 연계성을 중심으로 체계화하였다. 프로토타이핑 도구의 연구들에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 효과적인 프로토타이핑 도구의 활용에 대한 시사점을 도출하였다. 주요 분석 결과로 컨셉 디자인 단계에 중요한 역할을 하는 새로운 프로토타이핑 방법과 도구를 숙지해야 하며, 디자인 대상과 목표에 부합하는 다양한 프로토타이핑 방법들을 활용해야 한다는 점을 파악하였다. 그리고 구현기술에 얽매이지 않고 새로운 컨셉의 탐색에 기여할 수 있는 프로토타이핑 도구에 과한 추가적인 연구가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 타 분야 전문가들과의 긴밀한 협업으로 프로토타이핑의 효율화를 꾀할 수 있으며 디자이너들이 주로 활용하는 기존 도구를 기반으로 하는 구현 환경을 적절히 활용하는 것이 효과적이다. 조사분석 결과는 디자이너들이 새로운 문제에 직면했을 때 적절한 프로토타이핑 도구를 선택해서 활용학 수 있는 기초로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 디자인 프로세스의 효율성 개선과 교육에 실질적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Unlike in the past, where the expression of the form was given a priority, with the widening of the scopes of the designs, the proportion of design education institution curricula targeting user experience and the application of technology is continually and gradually increasing. Open source microcontroller boards such as Arduino have initiated attracting attention as a countermeasure against these changes. These prototyping tools have many advantages for the diversification of expression and design verification in the design field and therefore have a high likelihood of being introduced into many design education institutes; however, the tools act as high entry barriers for design students who lack engineering knowledge. Although various educational content and tools have been developed to address the issue of barrier, existing solutions remain insufficient as alternatives for the purpose of activation. In this study, we investigated the present state of related education content and conducted a pilot workshop using a prototype microcontroller board with simplified coding. We intend to use the results of this investigation to develop study material for design education. We started by conducting a survey regarding the pre-university education situation. It was observed that engineering education opportunities are insufficient and the problem of mutual application between educations due to course-based education was not realized. We also analyzed the characteristics of simplified training tools using the microcontroller to establish a direction for educational design and conducted a pilot workshop using the microcontroller toolkit with a simplified coding process based on this content. Students who lack a basic knowledge of engineering technology received instruction, and after completing minimum preliminary training, they proceeded to practical exercises that involved utilizing the toolkit. Through this process, we identified the need for a simple-type microcontroller board with low-complexity for use in educating students majoring in design. We also identified some obstacles that serve as barriers to entry of utilizing microcontroller board. Based on these results, we propose several functional requirements and teaching guidelines for prototyping toolkits for design education.

This study empirically examined the effects of 12 factors on the success of data warehousing. Several hypotheses were set up to identify the relationships among these variables. And the survey instrument(questionnaire) was developed to collect data. Ultimately 183 questionnaires from 61 korean firms were collected. Findings showed that 9 factors(having the right resources, championship, management support, management of user expectations, planning for the project, prototyping, user participation, quality of the data sources, having the right development tools) affect positive effect on the success of data warehousing.

In the past, design has been recognized as a means to determine colors, shapes, and functions Recently, however, it has been accepted in a wider sense, namely designing the entire service, including product and user experience design. In this way, in addition to creativity and expressive power that designers have as their main competence, according to the expansion of this design object, designers are required to have comprehensive abilities in related fields and accompanying technical professional abilities. If designing as a technology application as a direction toward this situation, design education can be carried out by approaching technology as a method of expression or design subject. It can also be an effective alternative towards improving the understanding of technology. Meanwhile, many small microcontroller board products with advanced functions and multi-functional specialized programming integrated development environments (IDEs) are becoming widespread due to their open source, low cost, and scalable features. However, students in the design department who lack the basic knowledge of science and engineering have difficulties learning, which requires considerable time and is required for practical use. From this point of view, we have made advancements in the technical understanding of design education by conducting fundamental research to the effectiveness of microcontroller-based prototyping tools as means of expression. We also conducted basic education of microcontroller boards for a certain period of time on students who majored in design in conjunction with the basic survey and investigated the obstacle factors using a questionnaire. Through these surveys, we have confirmed the necessity of designing microcontroller boards of low difficulty, which simplify the coding process that can act as a barrier in difficulty for design students to apply smoothly in design education. In addition, we intend to carry out a basic study on the guideline of microcontroller design for design education and composition of education programs.

The purpose of this study is to illustrate the design of safety suits based on energy-harvesting technology, particularly targeting street cleaners who must work at night with high mobility. The design focuses on applying lightweight energy-harvesting tools and illuminant into the wear. The design development reflects feedback from testers collected via survey constituting a key methodology. The development process has two main stages. Each stage uses a process of design prototyping, internal examination, test sampling, test wearing, and wearers' feedback via survey that consists of questions on visibility, wearing convenience, and washability. The first stage results show the design of safety suits with energy-harvested LED illuminant inserted and the survey results collected from street cleaners dressed in 4 sample and 80 actual suits in total. Improved based on the first-stage survey results, the second stage designs the suits with detachable energy-harvested EL tape. From these 5 sample and 30 actual second-stage suits, the additional survey indicates that this second-stage design facilitates more visibility and convenience in washing and wearing than the first-stage design. Accordingly, one can expect that this new design can apply not only to safety suits for night workers but also to handicapped or outdoor sportswear applications in the future.
