چکیده

In this paper, we examine the logic and methodology of engineering design from the perspective of the philosophy of science. The fundamental characteristics of design problems and design processes are discussed and analyzed. These characteristics establish the framework within which different design paradigms are examined. Following the discussions on descriptive properties of design, and the prescriptive role of design paradigms, we advocate the plausible hypothesis that there is a direct resemblance between the structure of design processes and the problem solving of scientific communities. The scientific community metaphor has been useful in guiding the development of general purpose highly effective design process meta-tools [73], [125].

Two Paradigms of Endogenous Development: Production Process & Supply-demand Relationship

Different world views and philosophies in defining development problems and their solutions derive currently from different disciplines. They refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as a fundamental relationship between phenomena. The history of differing values and attitudes presented in management and design indicates the importance of this relationship. This sort of knowledge...

Recognizing the Role of Idea and Concept in Understanding and Creation in Architecture Relying on the "Four Causes"

Today, the increasing realities that have occupied architects in other fields related to architecture, have caused the designerchr('39')s attention to deviate from the theoretical thinking that was considered at the beginning of the design process. Architectural software has expanded the visual dimensions of the human mind and created the conditions for the designerchr('39')s thinking to be lim...

Optimization of FSW parameters for mechanical properties of Nano/UFG Aluminum- scandium alloys by using design of experiment method

In the present research, the parameters of FSW process were optimized for the mechanical properties of thin aluminum- scandium alloys by a design of experiment (DOE) technique. The optimum conditions providing the highest mechanical properties were found by this method. Among the three factors and three levels tested, it was concluded that the tool rotational speed had the most significant effe...
