INTEGRATING MAKERSPACES INTO ENGINEERING DESIGN

Integrating Product Form Preference into Engineering Design

The product form has an important role in the judgment of a product, and increasingly more products within a market segment have similar technology and performance. This has elevated the importance of the appearance of a product, and being the first impression of a product visual, this work presents methods for the integration of the product form preference into the engineering design process. ...

Aspects of Integrating User Centered Design into Software Engineering Processes

Software Engineering (SE) and Usability Engineering (UE) both provide a wide range of elaborated process models to create software solutions. Today, many companies have realized the need for usable products and understood that a systematic and structured approach to usability is as important as the process of software development itself. However, theory and practice still have problems to effic...

Integrating Systematic Creativity into First- Year Engineering Design Curriculum*

Since the lack of creative potential in graduating engineers has been and continues to be a concern for industry leaders, most educators have added a common ideation approachÐbrainstormingÐto engineering design curricula. However, because brainstorming requires the designer to look inward for inspiration, it can be a daunting task, which is not always fruitful. Some systematic creativity method...

Integrating ergonomics into engineering design: the role of objects.

The objective of this study was to explore the role of objects in integrating ergonomic knowledge in engineering design processes. An engineering design case was analyzed using the theoretical concepts of boundary objects and intermediary objects: Boundary objects facilitate collaboration between different knowledge domains, while the aim of an intermediary object is to circulate knowledge and ...
