Meat, bones and neurons. That's what our discussion board members say is missing from D-schools after reading Dan Sheffer's article, ''Design Schools: Please Start Teaching Again.'' The consensus is that schools are putting too much emphasis on innovative thinking, polarizing designers and placing some at a disadvantage. So what do they want? Schools that teach the fundamentals of design, PERIOD. One member, who carried the discussion over to his blog, put it best when he said, ''If meat is knowledge, then bones are technical skills/craft. And of course the mind represents Thinking.'' You need all to make the Design body move.
