The field of design straddles the arts, humanities, and sciences. It is a concept that is applied in a wide range of situations, including the "design" of moon and Mars expeditions, tiny chips for smartphones, passenger and military planes, as well as products, communication, animation, interaction, mobility, and vehicles (which is how we understand design at the IDC School of Design). Design is a "holistic" field that aims to combine several fields of expertise, unlike many other specialised fields. Such holistic designers are exposed to the arts, sciences, philosophy, sociology, economics, the environment, and other fields, as well as colour, shape, materials, and methods. Therefore, it is the responsibility of design educators to facilitate this shift from competitive-examination-oriented minds to minds that have a holistic vision. The coordinator's role includes attempting to comprehend the challenges faced by a young student who is away from home for the first time and who, as a result, wishes to skip a few days of a crucial course. The coordinator's work includes realising that open-ended experimentation with a pencil, or with clay, wood, metal, or paint, has rarely been fostered in schools. The coordinator's responsibility includes educating students about the potential excitement and unease of hostel living as well as the possibility of unrequited love. There are many other difficulties, some of which are shockingly particular to individual kids. It's remarkable how the term "industrial" from the center's name was incorporated into the brand identity for IDC School. When working with students today, the post-industrial environment (even as the country works to create a better industrial culture) compels us to try a personal approach in addition to the earlier systems-approach. It has been important to pose questions that assist pupils in discovering their interests (and bliss). One challenge has been the program's four years and the almost complete lack of integration between courses. Without it, design won't be holistic in the slightest. In these tense and divisive times, it is possible to overcome this obstacle by having more communication.
