A feat we hope will be noted and repeated by educators in other countries: Tracy Fahey, a professor at Ireland's Institute of Technology at Carlow, has produced a book called Why Design: A Guide to Studying Design in Ireland.
Why Design was conceived by Tracy from a desire to give second level students a greater degree of familiarity with design as a study path and as a career.... Fahey [has collated] information about design which will ensure that students are fully aware of what design means as a career.
The IT Carlow website lists no means of acquiring the book, but does mention to contact Fahey "for further information:" tracy.fahey@itcarlow.ie
