Invitation
Designers and educators in engineering, architecture and design are invited to participate in the 2nd ConnectED International Conference on Design Education.
The 2nd ConnectED International Conference on Design Education will be held from 28 June to 1 July 2010 in Sydney, Australia. An exciting multidisciplinary program will provide the opportunity to continue the sharing of research in the emerging field of multi-disciplinary design education begun at the 2007 ConnectED conference.
ConnectED 2010 will be in association with the Design Educators Forum of South Africa (DEFSA). Our association with DEFSA is aimed at introducing a major stream of papers from Africa, India and Asia addressing design in relation to development and a truly globalised design economy.
We expect the Conference to attract delegates from Australia, New Zealand and the wider international community. They will come from a wide variety of disciplines including art, engineering, architecture and the built environment.
We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney in June 2010.

The Conference themes are:
· Multidisciplinary education in design
· Design collaboration and working with industry
· Design as research
· Designing sustainable futures
· Design and community development
· Learning creativity and design
· E-learning and technology in design education
· Problem/project/studio based learning
· Global agendas for design

Kees Dorst
Professor of Design, Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, University of Technology Sydney and Senior Researcher at the Department of Industrial Design of Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands
Susan Finger, Director of Engineering Design Research Centre, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
Professor Finger’s research is concerned with engineering design and education. Because of rapid scientific advances in materials, manufacturing processes, and information technologies, the design techniques developed even five years ago are no longer effective in today's complex, competitive environment. The vision for Professor Finger’s group
is exploring innovative enabling technologies and systems for internet-enabled collaborative design and information-driven manufacturing. The goal of the research is to provide an order of magnitude improvement in time and cost for modeling, design and manufacture compared to present methods. Susan earned her B.A. in 1972 from the University of Pennsylvania, M.A. in 1974 from the University of Pennsylvania, and her Ph. D. in 1981 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
