In　Taiwan,　the　college　enrollment　rate　has　increased　substantially.　Taiwan　has　the　highest　percentage　of　university　students　in　the　world,　but　after　industry　migration　and　financial　tsunami,　newcomers　in　the　workplace　are　facing　a　more　arduous　job-hunting　situation.　Therefore,　the　unemployment　rate　of　college　graduates　has　also　gone　up.　This　study　aims　at　developing　a　set　of　evaluation　indicators　applicable　to　competitive　advantage　of　design　departments　in　Taiwan.　This　study　was　conducted　in　two　stages.　In　the　first　stage,　related　literature,　theories,　and　empirical　researches　were　summarized;　content　analysis　is　used　to　draw　the　outline　of　expert　interview　and　first　draft　of　indicators.　At　the　second　stage,　revised　expert　Delphi　method　is　adopted　to　implement　two　rounds　of　expert　questionnaire　survey.　In　this　way,　evaluation　indicators　of　design　students’　competitive　advantages　are　constructed　and　the　importance　of　the　weight　and　sequence　of　these　indicators　are　determined,　thus,　to　provide　emphasis　and　direction　for　design　departments　to　plan　the　curriculum　and　evaluate　teaching　achievements,　offer　references　for　the　diagnosis　of　design　students’　pre-service　ability　to　design　and　understand　that　education　is　practical　and　applicable.　Definite　evaluation　indicators　developed　here　can　also　be　used　as　a　standard　for　related　education　units　to　assess　students’　competences,　as　well　as　bases　for　the　industry　to　choose　talents　and　make　appraisal　in　the　future.　©　2016　Taylor　&　Francis　Group,　London.
