Description
Summary:In Spain, education in the field of design is not clearly structured and fails to dovetail with current legal and professional reality in terms of the profiles and competences that are offered. This article presents a structured set of competences aimed at undergraduate, university-level, programs that is well-adjusted to the professional accreditation system and establishes a structure and classification that is specific and relevant to this field. This will serve as a starting point for the analysis of the unique characteristics of higher education design programs in the setting of the new paradigm brought about by technological change, considering what new information and communication technologies bring to the process, particularly in online education platforms.
