Abstract

Design thinking is an integrated thinking method with mature concepts, methods and tools, which is widely used in the field of education. The students of Peking University College of Engineering’s professional master’s degree come from different professional backgrounds and have worked experience. In one of their courses: service design, the teacher introduces design thinking methods and structures into the course to construct a new type of inquiry teaching activity. The course takes workshop as the teaching methods, and it is carried out in four forms: theoretical study, classic case analysis, project design and presentation, by multi-disciplinary collaboration to complete learning tasks. The teaching effects indicated that the service design teaching supported by design thinking can play a positive role in promoting the development of students’ design ability, collaboration ability and innovation ability.
