Abstract
This study aims to propose a model of Industrial Design Career Information System (IDCIS) to help ID students plan their career. The study was divided into three stages. The content analysis of nine relevant websites framed a basic structure of IDCIS. Next, four focus groups with a total of twenty-four ID students were interviewed to find out what career information they would like to know. Finally, a web-based model of IDCIS was simulated and eight ID students were invited to provide their feedback. The outcome would provide an integrated base to help students be aware of the ID profession and plan their career in advance during the school years. Also, the process of constructing a model of IDCIS adopted by this study could be a reference for other fields.
