Since its establishment, the Department of Creative Design has focused on integrating different areas of design and adopts the differences in the creation of design works. With effort from both faculty members and students, the department has won many design awards during these years. For example, the department scooped 4 Red Dot awards, 1 silver medal in the category of Interior Design, and 1 bronze medal in the category of Industrial Design at the Young Designers’ Exhibition; a gold Award at Uneec Applied Design Awards; an excellence Award at Yushow Cup; and so forth. The awards show the design and creative powers of both faculty members and students.

 

Built by iF Industrie Forum Design in the year of 1954, the iF Award takes place every year. The International Forum Design Hannover is in charge of selecting design products every year. iF Award is often referred to as “The Oscar Awards for Designers” by some of the media in Europe. Its reputation also makes it easy for the awarded products to be merchandized and sold to the world. 25 gold awards and 50 silver awards are up for grabs each time, and the products that win achieve the iF Guaranteed Product status.

 

The product “Easy Plug” was created by students Huang Rei-ming and Wu Pin-jie under the instruction of Associate Professor Wang Ching-liang. “Easy Plug” stood out among 12,000 products and won a spot in the Top 10 in the category of Concept Award. The product wins a bonus valued at 2,000 Euros.

 

The product tries to solve problems caused by traditional sockets. You can use the plug and socket from every angle. Different from traditional electrodes, the round electrodes enable consumers to use the plugs easily. With traditional plugs, users can plug in but only from specific angles and sides. The product adopts the idea of magnetic force, thus enabling ease of use.
