Resumo: | This paper introduces a Project-Based Learning (PBL) led collaboration between the BA Program in Design at the University of Aveiro and ‘Nexx’, an eminent brand of motorcycle helmets from Central Portugal. It delineates the main reciprocal advantages that are emerging from such interface between university and industry and discusses how projects that are framed to address specific industry needs can provide an enduring basis for knowledge and technology exchange.The brand in question is among a handful of remaining European manufacturers of motorcycle helmets and riding gear, and its offerings cover a wide range of segments such as urban and off-road. Nexx’s’s global appeal means that 90% of its production is destined for export to 60 markets worldwide. Its interest in collaborating with universities, and specifically, design education stems from its commitment towards effectuating consistent innovation in products and processes, wherein external perspectives, and in particular, creative vision can prove strategic and impactful. Respectively, the paper specifies the context of the brand’s collaboration with design education, which concerns the conceptualisation of sustainable helmet packaging. It also reflects on how such collaborations present critical opportunities for educators to extend design classrooms beyond the university and into environments that are conducive to active learning. In this regard, the paper posits that such design challenges with the potential for tangible outcomes can stimulate further inquiry and exploration of methodologies and approaches which can aid in closing the gap between academic and empirical knowledge in the field of design. |

Design by extension: Potentiating University-industry collaborations through active learningDesign por extenso: potencializar as colaborações universidade-indústria por meio da aprendizagem ativaThis paper introduces a Project-Based Learning (PBL) led collaboration between the BA Program in Design at the University of Aveiro and ‘Nexx’, an eminent brand of motorcycle helmets from Central Portugal.

Este artigo apresenta uma colaboração baseada em Project-Based Learning (PBL) entre a Universidade de Aveiro e ‘Nexx’, uma reconhecida para motociclistas do distrito de Aveiro, no centro de Portugal. Define as vantagens recíprocas que emergem da interação entre a universidade e a indústria, e debate como os projetos enquadrados para responder a necessidades específicas da indústria podem fornecer uma base duradoura para o intercâmbio de conhecimento e tecnologia.A marca Nexx está entre um grupo de fabricantes europeus de capacetes e equipamentos para motociclistas, que cobrem uma vasta gama de segmentos, desde o urbano ao todo-o-terreno. O interesse global pela marca significa que 90% da sua produção é destinada à exportação para 60 mercados em todo o mundo.O interesse da Nexx em colaborar com a universidade e, mais especificamente, a formação em design, advém do seu empenho em promover inovação consistente em produtos e processos, nas quais as perspetivas externas e, em particular, a visão criativa, podem revelar-se estratégicas e de interesse. Nesse sentido, o documento especifica o contexto da colaboração da marca com o programa da Licenciatura em Design no Departamento de Comunicação e Arte da Universidade de Aveiro, para o desenho de embalagens para capacetes numa perspetiva de sustentabilidade. Também reflete sobre a forma como tais colaborações promovem oportunidades muito importantes para os docentes expandirem a formação em design para além da sala de aula, abrindo espaço a uma aprendizagem ativa e em contato com a realidade produtiva. A este respeito, o documento postula que tais desafios de design com potencial para resultados tangíveis podem estimular a investigação e exploração de metodologias, bem como abordagens que podem ajudar a preencher a lacuna entre o conhecimento académico e empírico no campo do design.UA Editora2023-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34624/etd.v0i6.32828https://doi.org/10.34624/etd.v0i6.32828Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; No 6 (2022): Journal of international meetings of Luso-Brazilian studies in Design and Ergonomics; 26-33Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; Núm. 6 (2022): Revista dos encontros internacionais de estudos luso-brasileiros em Design e Ergonomia; 26-33Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Design; n.º 6 (2022): Revista dos encontros internacionais de estudos luso-brasileiros em Design e Ergonomia; 26-332183-928Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://proa.ua.pt/index.php/ergotripdesign/article/view/32828https://proa.ua.pt/index.php/ergotripdesign/article/view/32828/22538Direitos de Autor (c) 2023 Revista dos encontros internacionais Ergotrip Designhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerreira, LuisChatterjee, AbhishekAlmeida, Pedro Carvalho deOliveira, Emanuel2023-09-20T13:07:41Zoai:proa.ua.pt:article/32828Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:09:47.236045Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
