Abstract
While improving people's living standards, the development and progress of science and technology have come with a series of challenges, such as resource depletion, environmental pollution, species extinction, and climate change resulting from global warming. As a demand for sustainable development in society, "Green Design" is expected to continue to be the focus of industrial design education in the 21st century. In this pa-per, 212 students from Zhejiang Gongshang University were selected as objects to car-ry out relevant research through experimental design. As indicated by the results, 1. Green design course exerts a significantly different influence on environmental percep-tion in the industrial design discipline. 2. Nature experience has a significantly different influence on environmental perception. 3. Industrial design education and nature expe-rience impose a significantly different influence on the improvement of environmental perception. Suggestions were made to provide students with a key made of green de-sign through nature experience activities, with a view to encouraging them to step into the world of nature of truth, goodness and beauty and enhancing their awareness of the environment.
