Abstract

From the introduction:

The future of responsible and ecological design demands a new generation of industrial designers equipped with the skills to holistically address complex human needs through sustainable innovation. By integrating hands-on experimentation with bio-based materials into design curricula, educators can cultivate the vital competencies students need to create impactful, user-centered solutions that resonate with evolving expectations around environmental responsibility and STEM skills (Avramescu 123).
