Counseling
After-Class Consultation
The Department of Creative Product Design integrates its administrative office, faculty studios, student gallery, and open discussion spaces into a single shared environment adjacent to the Creative Design and Invention Center, creating a warm and comprehensive platform for communication and exchange. This open and accessible setting encourages interaction among students, faculty, and industry partners.
The department adopts a multi-mentor support system, including Life Mentors, Career Mentors, Industry Mentors, and Mandala Mentors dedicated to academic advising. This system supports students in planning their studies and developing a fulfilling campus life.
The Mandala Mentorship System follows an apprenticeship-based approach, in which designated faculty members guide students through continuous learning and growth. Upon enrollment, each group of 10–15 first-year students is assigned a dedicated Mandala Mentor who provides course planning guidance and, when needed, organizes study groups and learning initiatives. Mandala Mentors are assigned through the university system; students may check their assigned mentor via the Student Information System.
