Preparing product design students for the design of digital products
provides a challenge for product design educators. This paper reports an
experiment in a senior-year product design studio course. Students were assigned
three projects with three different strategies based on the management and the
structure of the design process. The analysis of observations on students’ design
processes, semi-structured interviews with students, and the analysis of design
solutions revealed that students mentally separate a product’s physical form and
digital interface. Students reported time management as their biggest challenge for
the design of digital products. Even though they experienced problems in their
design process, they think interface design skills as a part of their professional
requirements. These findings indicate a need to better address the design of digital
products in product design curriculum in general and studio education in particular.
