A classroom of Industrial Design students doing Applied Industrial Design subject at Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, was taken as the study in understanding the thinking process involved in delivering content for interactive products. Seven students were selected for the study and their design documents such as; sketches, drawings diagrams and reports were analyzed using three stages of analyses. Various Interaction Design concern were discussed and towards the end of the study a design method was proposed. This research documented a specific type of project for the design of 'Cleaning Appliances' where design intention and creative ability of the students in delivering Interaction Design content and method was sought. Although without proper guidelines from the Interaction Design discipline, the students showed the ability in delivering basic interactive product design concepts using the Industrial Design knowledge. This research study contributes to the knowledge of design disciplinary areas in both Human Computer Interaction and Industrial Design, which highlights the important role of Industrial Design students in delivering Interaction Design content and methods. 11 COPYRIGHT 2005 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/4290/1/TM_MOHAMMAD%20ZAKI%20SHARIFUDDIN%20AD%2005_5%201.pdf Sharifuddin, Mohammad Zaki (2005) Interaction design content and method : a case study on industrial design students / Mohammad Zaki Sharifuddin.
