Abstract: This study works toward addressing a knowledge gap in understanding how heuristics are developed, retrieved, employed, and modified by designers. Having a better awareness of one’s own set of heuristics can be beneficial ...

Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) rules or heuristics. It can be challenging for novice designers to create successful designs for additive manufacturing ...

Abstract: This research examines how cognitive bias manifests in the design activities of graduate student design teams, with a particular focus on how to uncover evidence of these biases through survey-based data collection. After ...

Abstract: This study offers insight into the processes of expert designers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and how they use heuristics in the design process. A methodology for the extraction, classification, and characterization ...
