RISThe Cognitive Costs of Design Tasks: Examining Cognitive Load Through Verbal and Physical Indicators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prior work has demonstrated that design tasks can be cognitively demanding, due to the inherent ambiguity and complexity of design problems. Few studies, however, have examined the evolution of cognitive load during the ...
Between Worlds: Exploring the Links Between the Tangible and Intangible Costs of Prototypes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prototyping is an important part of the design process, but researchers currently have a limited understanding of how the resources invested in a prototype or designer teams’ intent for a prototype influence decision-making ...
Who Does Design Research Serve? A Critical Evaluation of the Diversity of Samples Studied in Design Theory and Methods Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human subjects are often used in design theory and methods studies to understand how designers behave and link behaviors with design outcomes. We highlight that much of our past work and resultant knowledge in design theory ...
The Prototype for X Framework: Assessing Impact on Self-Reported Prototyping Behavior of Student Designers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A significant gap exists between engineering students' perceptions of prototypes and prototyping abilities and professionals' perceptions and abilities. Structured prototyping frameworks have recently been developed and ...
Are You Feeling Me? An Exploration of Empathy Development in Engineering Design Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Having empathy in the design process can help engineers relate to the end-user by identifying what and why certain experiences are meaningful. While there have been efforts to identify the factors that impact empathic ...
Design for Inspectability: A Framework to Increase Inspectability of Additive Manufacturing Parts for Pulse-Echo Ultrasonic Inspection Methods
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) is used to produce load-bearing, safety-critical components in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. Designers can create AM components with complex internal features, ...
Crossing Cultural Borders: A Case Study of Conceptual Design Outcomes of U.S. and Moroccan Student Samples
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There has been a plethora of design theory and methodology (DTM) research conducted to answer important questions centered around how ideas are developed and translated into successful products. Understanding this is vital ...
Assessing Engineering Design: A Comparison of the Effect of Exams and Design Practica on First-Year Students’ Design Self-Efficacy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In response to calls for engineering programs to better prepare students for future careers, many institutions offer courses with a design component to first-year engineering students. This work proposes that traditional ...
Lost in Translation: Examining the Complex Relationship Between Prototyping and Communication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prototyping plays a pivotal role in the engineering design process. Prototypes represent physical or digital manifestations of design ideas, and as such act as effective communication tools for designers. While the benefits ...
