RISInconstant Empathy—Interpersonal Factors That Influence the Incompleteness of User Understanding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Empathy can help designers discover and fulfill users’ latent needs in design, which can lead to better design solutions. To achieve deep user understanding, designers utilize their ability to empathize with users. However, ...
Deconstruction of Idea Generation Methods Into a Framework of Creativity Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Creative ideas are a central part of design thinking, whether solving engineering problems, generating interesting art, as well as developing successful products and innovations. Idea generation methods are a well-researched ...
Critical Thinking Assessment in Engineering Education: A Scopus-Based Literature Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Critical Thinking (CT) skills are highly valued by employers, leading to their integration into engineering education through various design- and problem-based approaches. Despite their recognized importance, the varying ...
Idea Generation Mechanisms: Comparing the Influence of Classification, Combination, Building on Others, and Stimulation Mechanisms on Ideation Effectiveness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ideation methods have been extensively studied, and several ideation methods can be beneficial in different contexts, but it is not understood what makes a specific method work. Previous work has shown that all the ideation ...
Incorporating Field Effects Into Functional Product-System Architecting Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: System architecture and modularity decisions are inherent to preliminary concept design. Prior modularity research has considered minimizing interactions between modules and increasing the commonality among modular product ...
Large Language Models for Predicting Empathic Accuracy Between a Designer and a User
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Empathic design research aims to gain deep and accurate user understanding. We can measure the designer's empathic ability as empathic accuracy (EA) in understanding the user's thoughts and feelings during an interview. ...

Design for Sustainable Use of Appliances: A Framework Based on User Behavior Observations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: User behavior can determine over one third of the energy consumed in the residential energy market. Thus, user behavior has become a primary focus in sustainable mechanical device, appliance, and smart-energy systems design. ...
Efficient Design Guidelines for Innovative Aerial Robot Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The field of aerial robotics has advanced rapidly, but the design knowledge has not yet been codified into reusable design guidelines. Design guidelines have been developed for many mechanical design areas to advance the ...
Automatic Facial Expression Analysis as a Measure of User-Designer Empathy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In human-centered product design and development, understanding the users is essential. Empathizing with the user can help designers gain deeper insights into the user experience and their needs. However, a few studies ...
