Research Areas / 研究方向

Prof. Chun Juei (C. J.) Chou has been an assistant professor since 1st August 2009 at the Department of Industrial Design, College of Planning and Design, National Cheng Kung University in Tainan City, Taiwan. He named his office "EADS Lab". EADS indicates CJ Chou's four research areas. E stands for Ethics. That is, design should help product users to follow ethical rules and social norms. A stands for Altruism. That is, design should help to make people's life better. D stands for Disaster. That is, design should help to prevent environment and people from natural and accidental disasters and minimize damage. S stands for Sustainability. That is, Design should equally consider the balance among ecology, people, and economic development.

周君瑞助理教授於2009年八月一日起服務於國立成功大學工業設計學系，並將其研究辦公室取名為EADS Lab，EADS這四個英文字母表明了周君瑞老師的四大研究方向，其中，E代表Ethics，意即設計應幫助產品使用者遵守道德規範；A代表Altruism，意即設計應幫助他人、改善人們的生活；D代表Disaster，意即設計應防患未然、降低天然與意外災害對人們與環境的破壞；S代表Sustainability，意即設計應充分考量環境生態、重視永續經營與發展。

Short-Term Plan / 近程規劃

Prof. Chou opened an elective graduate course titled "Design Research for Universal Ethics" since Spring 2011. The purpose of this course is to make graduate students realize that they can apply design and innovation methods to help people to regain their good nature. Especially in such over developed society, values are twisted, people are indifferent, while sympathy and altruism are rare. In this course, graduate students are encouraged to discuss how ethical behavior and humane value can be practiced in our daily life. We expect that design can be creatively applied to improve people's attitude, behavior, and life.

周君瑞老師於2011年春季開授研究所選修課程「仁品設計研究」，本課程的目的是讓研究生充分了解他們可以應用設計與創意方法幫助人們重拾其良善的本質，尤其現今社會過度發展、價值觀扭曲、人際關係冷淡、缺乏同情心與熱心助人的企圖，本課程鼓勵研究生主動探討生活中的道德行為與人性價值，期望透過設計能夠改善人們的態度與生活。

Short-Term Intention / 近程目的

In order to enable graduate students understand how design can be applied to deal with social and environmental issues, each weekly class of "Design Research for Universal Ethics" is divided into three sessions within three hours: (1) lecture pertaining to one existing or future issue such as global warming; (2) introduction to a design method such as Structured Planning; (3) practical application of the design method for students to deal with the issue previously introduced. Weekly topics of this course are shown in the table below. For example, observation and interview are applied to analyze the elder's behavior and needs. In this way, graduate students in design are able to discover, analyze, practice, and discuss interesting cases, including products, service and business models for universal ethics. The intention of this course is to make graduate students decent and noble global citizens in addition to outstaning designers.

為了讓研究生了解設計對社會與環境議題的影響力，周君瑞老師將「仁品設計研究」每週的課程區分為三階段活動: (1)講義課，如論文選讀或案例解析；(2)介紹設計方法；(3)將所學習的設計方法直接應用於解決(或減緩)社會或環境問題上，每週課程主題與應用案例如下表所示，例如: 應用觀察與訪談法分析老年人的行為與需求。透過此種學習方式，設計研究生便有能力發掘、分析、討論有趣的「仁品設計」案例，包含產品、服務以及商業模式等，本課程希望設計領域的學生除了可以成為頂尖的設計師之外，也能夠成為正直且思想高尚的世界公民。

Research Topics / 研究主題

Doctoral and master's thesis topics are based on the acheivement of "Design Research for Universal Ethics" as shown in the table below. For example, one master's student applies "identification of form restriction" to analyze components of a certain product. The purpose is to identify recyclable components made by compatible materials. If the designer connects such components together as many as possible within the product, this product can be disassembled and recycled in a more efficient way after discarded. For example, one flashlight is composed by four components, including one light base, one light cover, one body, and one battery case. It is hypothetical that the last three items are recyclable and made by the same compatible plastic material. The light base is made by non-recyclable metal. After redesigning its architecture, this flashlight can be more easily disassembled and recycled by one step - taking the light base out of the flashlight.

周君瑞老師將「仁品設計研究」的執行成果，具體地轉換成博士與碩士研究生的論文題目，如下表所示，例如，一碩士生將應用「造型限制界定法」分析產品零件，目的是要釐清產品零件中有哪些部分是材料相容且可以回收的資源，若產品設計師將這些材料相容的零件盡可能地連結在一起，當此產品報廢後，資源回收業者便可以用最少的步驟拆解這個產品，便能達到加速回收的效果，例如，一手電筒包含燈罩、燈座、筒身以及電池蓋等四個零件，其中燈罩、筒身與電池蓋屬性質相容且可回收的塑膠材質、燈座屬可回收的金屬材質，經過重新設計後，資源回收業者或許只需要一個步驟將燈座從手電筒中取出，就可完成產品拆解與分類回收的工作。

Long-Term Plan / 遠程規劃

Based on "Design Research for Universal Ethics", EADS Lab has gradually achieved several researches such as ethical design, altruistic design, sustainable design, and design for mitigating disasters. Prof. Chou expects to open an elective undergraduate course titled "Design for Universal Ethics" after five years. Its purpose is to enable undergraduate students actively practice design theories, methods, and tools for ethical intention. In addition, an elective graduate course titled "Research for Sustainability and Mitigating Disasters" and an elective undergraduate course titled "Design for Sustainability and Mitigating Disasters" are planned to be opened in the future. Therefore, research topics in Industrial Design will be enlarged to cover more significant areas such as environmental protection and social security.

周君瑞老師將以「仁品設計研究」課程為基礎，針對道德設計、利他設計、永續設計以及防災設計四大主題進行研究，逐步累積研究成果，預計五年後開設「仁品設計」大學部選修課程，目的是讓大學部學生執行設計案，將研究成果商品化，此外，未來將逐步規劃「永續與防災研究」研究所選修課程，以及「永續與防災設計」大學部選修課程，期望將工業設計的研究主題推廣至環境保育以及社會安全的領域。
