ABSTRACT
Since the earliest Kansei
works saw the light more than 30 years ago, the Kansei has boomed
exponentially. Because of many and various achieved business successes by
different working groups as well as the methodology geographical dispersion
throughout the world. Multi-faceted Kansei has been developed for the last 20
years in a very wide and varied way. The Kansei has experienced as if talking
of a tree, a branching experience still going on nowadays. Today we can speak
from Kansei in theory, Kansei emotion measurement, Kansei engineering, Kansei
information, Kansei education, Kansei design to Kansei in practice and many
other disciplines. Three years ago, our team started the experience to introduce Kansei
in the educational atmosphere, applying it to the final degree projects. In the
School of Building Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València and
inside its final degree project proposal, a workshop on Kansei engineering was
offered. During these years at the eighth semester of the building engineer
degree, students have been working for almost five months under the supervision of a team of teachers on
their final project till the final public oral defense was made in front of a
committee. During these years, we have worked with
an average of 10 students per year. Some have successfully completed their
final projects, others have not achieved the minimum required. The article aims
to explain the experience during the last three years the team has accumulated in Kansei education,
and can be of interest for every teacher or lecturer.
