1. Empathy Thresholds in Transport Design Students

Author

Woodcock, Andree, Osmond, Jane, Tovey, Michael, and McDonagh, Deana

Abstract

Threshold concept models offer a useful way of understanding aspects of design education. A threshold concept represents a gateway, or portal, to a more developed understanding and level of capability (Meyer, Land & Davies, 2008). Passing through a threshold can be transformative, irreversible, integrative and troublesome. Key transformations for design have been identified, such as gaining sufficient confidence in design thinking to enable solution concepts to be generated which are crucial to achieving capability as a designer. Empathy has been recognised as a key skill by practicing designers, but one which is seldom formally taught in classrooms. Drawing on the experience of five workshops held with transport and engineering design students which aimed to broaden their empathic understanding, the authors discuss the extent to which empathy may be considered as a threshold capability.

2. The Threshold of Uncertainty in Teaching Design

Author

Osmond, Jane and Tovey, Michael

Abstract

In many of our universities and colleges there is a long established approach to teaching design through practice. For most students their end goal is to achieve a level of capability to function as designers in the professional world. Their education helps them construct a passport to enter this community of professional practice. Part of the legacy of the funding initiative in England to support research into teaching has been the development of a better understanding of a practice-based approach to design pedagogy. This was a principal focus in two centres funded by the initiative in which "signature pedagogies" were identified as a distinguishing characteristic for developing student capability within various types of design practice, each of which contains those elements, which are characteristic of the discipline. This notion moves the emphasis away from the content of the curriculum and explores the importance of practical, embodied and experiential ways of knowing. Where these were investigated for product and automotive design the concept of transformative practice was identified as crucial. Designers typically employ two simultaneous interacting cognitive styles. From a five-year longitudinal study involving 89 design students, it became clear that in order to develop the confidence to match these two modes of thought, neophyte designers needed to surmount a barrier, or a threshold concept, which we labelled the toleration of design uncertainty. Accommodating effective arrangements to accomplish this has reinforced the importance of employing the traditional arrangement of studio teaching and given it a greater focus.

25. Identification of residues of the IFNARI chain of the type I human interferon receptor critical for ligand binding and biological activity

Abstract

A 3-D model of the IFN-alpha/IFNAR1/IFNAR2 complex based on biochemical data and knowledge of the structure of other receptors, which predicts a dynamic mechanism for interferon receptor complex activation, is presented. It is concluded that the binding of different IFN-alpha subtypes will result in the formation of closed forms of the receptor in which the N-terminal domain of IFNAR1 acts as a lid, which folds over the bound IFN molecule.
