By Emily Cook, TLS staff writer <\/em><\/p>\n

From the industry to the classroom, Chantal Trudel is bringing new ideas and new flare to Carleton\u2019s School of Industrial Design.<\/p>\n

Trudel joined the faculty at Carleton in July after teaching as a contract instructor at Ryerson University\u2019s School of Interior Design and working in health care architecture as a health care planner. She says the academic world takes some getting used to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a very different experience,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a different system, so coming from industry it\u2019s just an adjustment period.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Trudel is finding ways to link her industry experience to the classroom. In her job, she says she actively worked with people to develop and improve designs. In lectures, Trudel says she uses this idea to teach students to apply research methods, and learn their limitations.<\/p>\n

\u201cLectures have been somewhat modeled after my own personal experience of working with end-users to work through issues,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Trudel says this teaching model challenges her too, helping her think critically about class content and how lectures are structured.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The students] bring a fresh perspective and it opens me up as well,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

After taking her classes, Trudel says she hopes her students will become critical thinkers. She says industries are complex and students need to be prepared.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing into those fields really requires critical thinking and being able, not just to apply design, but to be very critical about the work you\u2019re doing in that field,\u201d says Trudel.<\/p>\n

One such industry is health care, and Trudel says she\u2019d like to be a \u201cmentor and a conduit\u201d for students who also want to enter that field and take on its challenges.<\/p>\n

Trudel\u2019s husband, Aneurin Bosley, joined Carleton\u2019s School of Journalism and Communication last year. She says working together has been fantastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both came from industry, so we didn\u2019t have these discussions before,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting and very helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trudel says she\u2019s enjoying trying out new teaching methods, like using the Discovery Centre for lecture activities. She says school support for these initiatives is very helpful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t pretend that it\u2019s easy work,\u201d says Trudel. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work but it\u2019s good work, and it\u2019s very rewarding, so it\u2019s been a really good experience thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
