IDEAS: Interdisciplinary Design Engineering and Service

Engineering Design Process –An Interdisciplinary Approach

In the 21 century, modern engineering design is practiced as an interdisciplinary endeavor requiring individual engineers to work as part of a team that involves a range of specialists. An interdisciplinary approach to engineering design sensitizes team members (students, faculty and industry partners) to multiple perspectives and discourages them from taking comfort in the singular domain to w...

Sources of Ideas for Innovation in Engineering Design

This paper explores the sources of ideas for innovation in engineering design. The paper shows that engineering designers involved in complex, non-routine design processes rely heavily on face-to-face conversations with other designers for solving problems and developing new innovative ideas. The research is based on a case study and survey of designers from Ove Arup & Partners, a leading inter...

Service Engineering: The Future of Service Feature Design and Pricing

Interdisciplinary Design Research for End-User Software Engineering

reasoning about the future can be described in terms of the attention investment model [5]. A productive approach to end-user software engineering is to modify users' perception of this investment, whether by Burnett's Surprise-Explain Reward strategy, or by the use of machine learning techniques to infer possible abstractions that might be suggested to the user [6]. Finally, I am interested in...
