The purpose of this paper is to develop further insights into micro-entrepreneurship programs participated in by Chinese industrial designers. A model of creative thinking is employed to explain the campaign creation process. A case study research in sample design entrepreneurs was designed and conducted, and it was composed of three steps: preparing for data collection, collecting the evidences, and analyzing the evidences. It was found that five main defects in creative thinking work as obstacles to crowdfunding success. In order to overcome these drawbacks, it is suggested that designers involved in micro-entrepreneurship programs should acquire the abilities of building prototypes, following the design procedure, finding and solving problems, defining ideation and applying the evaluation methods. Current findings and future study can contribute to the curriculum development for China's industrial design education.

<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>It is important how novice designers can produce shapes in the design-oriented parts where creativity and form creation is prior. Designers can abstract the t ideas in their minds by taking advantage of the forms, metrics, and relationships that exist in nature. For this reason, how designers can transform their ideas to forms has been analyzed by experienced designers in this research.The form of visual data obtained from the nature is obtained by the abstraction of the visual data and the addition of the designer's own style instead of using the imitation of the individual. The shape of nature in the result of abstraction; there is a new meaning and form again. At the end of the study, the way of designing the system, as in the case of nature, will be guided by the designers in terms of measurement and direction. Thus, novice designers can improve their creativity.</p><p>This formal quest: in landscape design, while the solution of the problem is both aesthetic and functional, Landscape architect candidates are encouraged to enrich visual memories by developing creative thinking and form creation.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Yaratıcılık ve biçim arayışının ön planda olduğu tasarım odaklı bölümlerde tasarımcı adaylarının nasıl biçim üretebileceği önemlidir. Tasarımcılar zihinlerindeki soyut fikirleri doğada var olan biçimlerden, ölçülerden ve ilişkilerden yararlanarak somut hale getirebilirler. Bu nedenle tasarımcıların fikirlerini nasıl biçime dönüştürebileceği bu araştırma kapsamında tecrübeli tasarımcılar tarafından analiz edilmiştir. Doğadan elde edilen görsel veriler birebir taklit edilerek kullanmanın yerine görsel verilerin soyutlanması ve tasarımcının kendi üslubunun da eklemesi ile biçim elde edilir. Soyutlama sonucunda doğadaki biçim; yeni bir anlam ve biçimle tekrar var olur. Çalışmanın sonunda yaratılan biçimin doğadaki gibi sistem tanımlaması için ölçü, yön açısından bir araya gelişinin irdelenmesi tasarımcılara yol gösterici olacaktır. Böylece tasarımcı adayları yaratıcılıklarını geliştirebilir.</p><p>Bu biçimsel arayış: peyzaj tasarımında, problemin çözümünü hem estetik hem de fonksiyonel yaparken; peyzaj mimarı adaylarının yaratıcı düşünme ve biçim üretmelerini geliştirerek görsel hafızalarının zenginleşmesini sağlanmaktadır.</p>

This paper will analyze by analogy, the internal relationship between different design majors is clarified on the basis of discussing the characteristics of design disciplines, and then the talent cultivation direction of design education is discussed. From the point of view of the characteristics of design as a subject, the discipline of design is comprehensive and application-oriented. It is comprehensive as it involves different types of disciplines such as technical skills, abstract concepts and theoretical knowledge, and different types of knowledge such as knowledge about practical skills, human thinking and information, as well as different types of capabilities such as professional skills, creative thinking, knowledge acquisition and application. The knowledge structure of the design subject consists of three dimensions, the thinking level, knowledge level and technical level. The inherent connections of the different branches of the design discipline are as follows: they are interconnected on the thinking level, related on the knowledge level and different on the skill level. The knowledge and abilities on these three dimensions compose the design skills designers should acquire, among which the thinking level serves as the foundational and core piece. Therefore, the design education reform should focus on cultivating students’ abilities, especially students’ thinking skills. Then, it can be concluded that design education should not emphasize the difference of design direction, but should pay attention to the training of students' design ability instead of the training of students' skills, especially the training of students' thinking ability.

Developing the skills of creative problem solving in undergraduate engineering education is a significant challenge in the typically analytical engineering training program. The problem lies in the fact that the skills of design and creative problem solving are primarily skills of synthesis rather than analysis. Design instructors at the University of Calgary have developed an approach to design that fosters the development of synthesis skills. This paper develops Familiarization as one component of the approach necessary for creative thinking and provides a description of the classroom requirements for developing the concept.
