RISNot Good Enough? Exploring Relationships Between Novice Designers’ Trait Empathy, Their Beliefs, Attitudes, and Intentions Toward Sustainability, and the Self-Evaluated Sustainability of Their Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers’ empathy plays an important role in supporting socially conscious design. Although widely studied in engineering design, a majority of the research on empathy focuses on designers’ ability to empathize with primary ...
Feeling the Distance: Exploring Novice Student Designers' Perceptions of the Psychological Distance and Empathic Response Toward Variations of a Sustainable Design Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prior research suggests novice designers find it challenging to integrate social context into the engineering design process. This challenge could be particularly pronounced in sustainable design tasks because the effects ...
Expanding the Solution Space in Engineering Design Education: A Simulation-Based Investigation of Product Dissection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product dissection has been highlighted as an effective means of interacting with example products in order to produce creative outcomes. While product dissection is often conducted as a team in engineering design education, ...
