다학제 협업을 위한 디자이너와 엔지니어의 특성 연구

Abstract

The essence of multidisciplinary collaboration is in the reconciliation between two different disciplines. How team members of different disciplines communicate and efficiently work together is crucial to achieve an ideal outcome. Design, as a discipline, has been considered to have integrative properties regarding both artistic capabilities and others that are related to engineering aspects. To prepare for the unprecedented changes and complex problems of our ever-changing society, designers should be aware of the multi-dimensional challenges that cannot be solved with a single perspective. As such, it is necessary to encourage a successful teamwork involving professionals from diverse disciplines. As a beginning of a long-term study, this paper solely focuses on the collaboration between designers and engineers, who are considered as intuitive and analytical thinkers. Through the analysis of the past multidisciplinary collaboration workshop, the purpose of this research is on emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approach in relation to designing innovative products and services. Prospective empirical research should focus on analyzing multidisciplinary teams in order to clearly discover the moment of conflict and synergy points.
