With the development of automotive industry, the product design of Auto becomes more important. Product designers should master the composite knowledge of engineering, aesthetics as well as social science and have abundant experience of practice. The graduates from a single subject in China are unfitted for product engineer. A new training program for product engineer has been introduced based on the theory of interdisciplinary design curriculum and the practice project. We will introduce the milt-disciplinary curriculum, process of training, program of practice and the target of the training program. One simple and efficient style is introduced to achieve the goal of updating and developing more widespread approaches to the education and training of modern product design. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
