本課程主要是以介紹從設計的範疇、種類、理論等角度切入，使學生對創意思考與設計有所認識。並能理解各種創意思考方法的運用過程與操作步驟。引發學生對創意思考與設計的興致，並進而提昇對創意設計作品的鑑賞力。藉由自由形式的聯想，增進個人視覺創意思考的能力，激發其創造性解決問題。再實際經由課堂實作及腦力激盪訓練學生面對設計主題進行創意發想。主要授課內容分為教材講授、案例研究及創意專題製作等三階段實施，希望透過此三階段的創造性思考教育訓，以提升及激發學生創造潛能，培養創造性問題解決能力。

This course mainly introduces the scope, types, theory and other aspects of design, so that students can have an understanding of creative thinking and design. And be able to understand the application process and operating steps of various creative thinking methods. Arouse students' interest in creative thinking and design, and thereby enhance their appreciation of creative design works. Through free-form association, individuals' ability to think visually and creatively is enhanced, and their creative problem solving is stimulated. Then, through classroom practice and brainstorming, students are trained to come up with creative ideas on design themes. The main teaching content is divided into three stages: teaching materials, case studies and creative topic production. It is hoped that through these three stages of creative thinking education and training, students can enhance and stimulate their creative potential and cultivate creative problem-solving abilities.
