Empowering Visual Design Education through AIGC Agents: Curriculum Governance and Teaching Quality Assurance Mechanisms

Abstract

This paper proposes a governance-oriented transformation of fashion design education in the agentic AI era, shifting pedagogy from skill transmission to intelligent orchestration. Using Weifang University of Science and Technology (WUST) as a case, it reconfigures the Four-in-One model (Course–Competition–Project–Job) into an Agent-Aided Design (AAD) ecosystem supported by an agile curriculum governance mechanism and a dynamic curriculum knowledge graph. The framework integrates posthuman distributed creativity, Bourdieu’s field theory (capital conversion), and an AI–TPACK approach to faculty upskilling. A process-oriented quality assurance model (40/30/30) and a “traffic light” integrity protocol ensure accountability. Flagship projects—Qimin Yaoshu digital heritage restoration and wearable-tech pathways via Goertek—articulate a replicable “Weifang Model” toward a “wisdom aesthetic.”
