“As we know becoming a mother is sometimes recognized as one of the most challenging experiences that a woman will have in her lifetime. Whenever they take their babies outdoors, they need to bring a lot of baby necessities such as diapers, clothes, milk and so on. It makes it difficult for mothers to remember to pack all the items and also makes it stressful for them. So I present this smart bag reminder that uses pressure sensors to provide lighting feedback when any items are missing from the bag. So that they can adjust to their new roles with less stress.”
Farhad, an international student from Ningbo Innovation Center, Zhejiang University, was introducing his design works to the reporter Wenbo.
The International Design Education Program was jointly organized by the United Nations Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries, World Eco-Design Conference and International School of Design, Ningbo Innovation Center, Zhejiang University since 2021.The Program is dedicated to providing industrial design engineering education for students from least developed countries to enhance LDCs’ capacity and competitiveness in industrial design.
“Though I came from a computer science background, I thought attending this program would be a challenge. But the curriculum of this IDE program is set up in a way that helped me improve the skills I already had.”
Every year, July 15 is the United Nations World Youth Skills Day.Themed “Transforming Youth Skills for the Future”, the 9thWorld Youth Skills Day highlighted the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
As a youth representative, Farhad, 24, received an interview from the United Nations to share his experience in industrial design engineering this year. Farhad said that technical skills such as graphic skills for designing have been very valuable for him in pursuit of his career. He also further shared that in his country, Bangladesh, knowledge in manufacturing, methods of distribution and marketing are needed and the skills he obtained in industrial design can be used in improving this sector.
Farhad has been living and studying in Ningbo for one year. He is currently well adapted to life on campus, “My study program here in Ningbo is very flexible and doesn't put too much stress on me. The best part is that it is self-paced. So I can study anyway I want, as long as I meet the requirements and deadlines.”
As one of the first batch of international design education students, Farhad will spend two and a half years of campus life in Ningbo. Like many foreign students, he will also feel the city of Ningbo after studying.

During the Spring Festival this year, Farhad also experienced the production of Ningbo traditional Tangyuan . In the program of CCTV4, he smiled brilliantly.
“So far, living in Ningbo feels really comfortable. Usually, I prepare for the next day the night before. See what I have in my schedule, make a priority list, and accomplish one task at a time.There is a lovely campus, and there are lots of foreign students studying in Ningbo. During the weekend, we mate together and play games, enjoying our moments.”
