description With the continuous exploration of technology, the problems that various companies will encounter in product development are becoming more and more complex. The issues we face cannot be solved by technology or knowledge in one field. Due to the need for cross-domain problem-solver, many top universities in Europe and the United States have created a design, engineering, and business program. This research names this kind of program an 'integrated design' program. It aims to train a leader with cross-disciplinary talents. As the 21st largest economy globally, Taiwan has been widely known for its excellent OEM and IC manufacturing in the past few decades. In recent years, both the government and private enterprises have invested a lot of money in creating brands. They hope to make these brands go international for more significant economic benefits. This is a substantial increase in the demand for talents with integrated design in the product design or production process. This research analyzes whether Taiwan needs this type of program from many perspectives: The individual needs of students. This research explores personal and professional needs. Taiwanese Brand Potential. There is a significant demand for talents with integrated design in Taiwan's business community. After confirming that Taiwan is suitable for developing this program, review similar programs in several well-known universities globally, formulate a set of program structures exclusive to Taiwan and write an implementation plan. Finally, a case study is conducted on the NTU D-school, which is most similar to the integrated design program in Taiwan.
