Educating the whole: course structure for a human-centred approach in product design engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
In Glasgow, an inter-institutional approach to teaching design engineering students is fostered through the particular nature of the teaching and learning environment, the management of students, the structure of the projects, and the content and delivery of the technical and nontechnical elements. These engineering students are encouraged to work in teams, to take a user-orientated approach, to develop an aesthetic as well as a technical intelligence, and to understand the role of human factors in successful product development.

متن کاملTeaching a User-Centred Approach to Exploring Product Personalities and Sensory Attributes
While basic design principles tend to be visually oriented, a user-centred design perspective focuses on the product experience and hence is multi-sensory. Moreover, the sensory qualities of products can relate to perceived product personalities. This paper describes a pilot investigation in a design principles course. We used an existing product personality tool for evaluating perceptions asso...
متن کاملMulti-objective optimization approach for cost management during product design at the conceptual phase
The effective cost management during the conceptual design phase of a product is essential to develop a product with minimum cost and desired quality. The integration of the methodologies of quality function deployment (QFD), value engineering (VE) and target costing (TC) could be applied to the continuous improvement of any product during product development. To optimize customer satisfaction ...
متن کاملCase study: Redesigning a Kansei Engineering Designed Scissors by User Centered Design Approach
This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...
