Build repair and re-use education into the process
Engage students in repair and re-use communities. It is a win-win, they learn more about peoples 'fashion' challenges, repair, re=use, remaking and at the same time are exposed to new ideas for design and engagement.
Industry placement schemes could potentially be useful for both sides if students are empowered to put theory into practice in a way that brings new academic concepts into workplaces that otherwise wouldn't be aware of them.

Design the course for regular and continual community engagement - like engineering and business courses do with placements or project assignments.
