A Hubei Province professor, who received a top award in design from Germany, was suspended by his university for plagiarizing a graduate's work.
Shi Yuanwu, School of Art and Design professor at Hubei University of Technology, won this year's Red Dot: Design Concept award, dubbed the Oscar in industrial design, for his innovative life boat.
The design shows a life boat that will never capsize in stormy waters due to its triangle structure and can be easily unfolded in an emergency.
However, Hu Sumei, who graduated from the school in 2009, accused Shi of stealing her idea. "I was so astonished to see my design published on the Red Dot's official website," she said.
Hu said she never imagined her design could win such a top award and the professor did not instruct her when she worked alone on the project, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Shi admitted "lacking consideration" but insisted that he offered her advice.
The university has suspended Shi from his teaching job and ordered him to write an apology to Hu. It also informed Red Dot to add Hu's name as the first designer.
