Abstract

With the swift evolution of the automobile design industry, driven by technological advancements and shifting consumer preferences, higher education in automobile design faces an urgent need for reform. The current status quo, often focused on traditional teaching methods and outdated curricula, fails to adequately prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the modern automotive landscape. Hence, a comprehensive teaching reform is paramount to bridge the gap between academia and industry. This reform should aim to align educational objectives with the latest industry trends, emphasizing practical skills, innovative thinking, and adaptability. It involves integrating cutting-edge technologies, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and adopting innovative teaching methodologies. By revamping course structures, incorporating project-based learning, and encouraging participation in design competitions, this reform endeavors to nurture graduates who are not just skilled designers but also creative thinkers capable of shaping the future of automobile design. With these transformative measures in place, higher education in automobile design can better equip students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in an ever-evolving industry, ultimately contributing to the advancement and innovation of automotive design globally.
