Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC) is in its twelfth year and the theme of this year’s competition is “Empathy.” On 17th April, the associate project director of TISDC, Prof. Ming-Lung Yu, led the executive team to promote the competition at Shilin High School of Commerce. Around 250 faculty and students joined the event together.

During the event, Prof. Yu focused not only on how to integrate the concept of “Empathy” into design works of different participating categories but also on analyzing the winning works of last year, hoping to encourage students’ creativity and innovation as well as broaden their horizons. Prof. Yu also reminded the students about the importance of enhancing their design skills, viewing things from different perspectives, and seizing every opportunity to participate in design competitions. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to fail.

Special thanks to Teacher Kuo-Wen Chung, head of the Department of Advertisement Design at Shilin High School of Commerce, for helping TISDC’s executive team arrange for the promotional event. We also appreciated all the faculty and students’ active participation in it. We look forward to all the excellent works from Shilin High School of Commerce.

Prof. Ming-Lung Yu presented the certificate of appreciation to Head Kuo-Wen Chung for his assistance and support.

Organized by Taiwan Ministry of Education and executed by Asia University, Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC) held an advisory council meeting on Sunday, 21th April, 2019. Doctoral students studying in Taiwan who are also teachers in China were widely invited to join the event together to know more about the competition. The executives of TISDC hoped these teachers could bring the information of TISDC back to the schools they teach to encourage their students to participate in it actively.

TISDC is now in its twelfth year. Four categories, Product Design, Visual Design, Digital Animation, and Brand Specified, are included in the competition. This year, for the very first time, Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) collaborated with TISDC and sponsored the Brand Specified Category. ITRI is responsible for providing existing industrial techniques to participants to apply these techniques into their design works and come out with products with high additional value. This way would give young designers a stage to show their creativity to the world.

This advisory council meeting provided an opportunity for the doctoral students from China and studying in Taiwan to gather together. Around 50 of them from 30 schools of China participated in the event. Teacher Zhou Lin, a doctoral student of National Taiwan Normal University, mentioned that the design research methods of China are quite different from those of Taiwan. Through this promotional event, TISDC provided a precious opportunity for design education change between Taiwan and China.

Prof. Apex Lin, project director of TISDC, indicated that through years of endeavor, the international visibility of TISDC has significantly enhanced. In 2018, TISDC received more than 20,000 entries from 895 schools and departments in 66 countries/regions. Starting from 2017, in order to implement the New Southbound Policy of Taiwan Ministry of Education, TISDC executive started to establish a real exchange platform with the New Southbound Policy countries to maintain the execution power and expandability of the competition and to encourage students from those New Southbound Policy countries to participate in the competition actively. The steady increase in the participating countries/regions shows that the competition has reached an internationally recognized level and surpassed other similar student competitions. Thus, one can say that TISDC is the most influential student competition of scale.

Once again, the executive team of TISDC would like to express their appreciation to those who participated in the advisory council meeting with their precious suggestions. Through this promotional campaign, TISDC hoped to attract more teachers and students to participate in the competition and reach the next milestone together.
