Abstract:
The article addresses the pressing issue of integrating artistic, technical, and humanitarian knowledge in the process of forming the professional competencies of future designers. Design as a professional activity emerged at the intersection of culture, technology, and society’s aesthetic demands, and its education has deep historical roots and dynamically transforms in response to contemporary cultural and social challenges. The formation of professional competence requires the combination of different groups of knowledge – artistic, technical, and humanitarian – providing a holistic vision of design activity as a synthesis of creativity, engineering thinking, and culturalcommunicative reflection.
An analysis of recent scientific research confirms the growing interest in interdisciplinary approaches to design education, especially in the context of rapid socio-cultural changes and technological progress. Both Ukrainian and foreign scholars emphasize the necessity of combining artistic and aesthetic training with technical and humanitarian knowledge, which contributes to the development of project thinking, creativity, emotional sensitivity, as well as social and ethical responsibility of the designer. Special importance is attached to the implementation of STEAM education, which integrates art with science and technology, forming flexible professional competencies.
It is noted that design education in Ukraine is undergoing a process of modernization, adapting to European standards and the demands of the creative economy. Knowledge integration is realized through interdisciplinary courses, project-based learning, case methods, and collaboration with industry partners, which increases student motivation and forms 21st-century skills: creativity, communication, and digital literacy.
The research results indicate that an integrated approach in the professional training of designers is a necessary condition for forming competent, creative, and socially responsible specialists of a new type. Prospects for further research are connected with an in-depth analysis of interdisciplinary educational models that combine various types of design with humanitarian, psychological, and information technologies for the further transformation of the design education system in Ukraine.
