Is Ownership Bias Bad? The Influence of Idea Goodness and Creativity on Design Professionals Concept Selection Practices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ownership bias is a decision-making bias that leads to an individual's tendency to prefer their own ideas over others' during the design process. While prior work has identified the existence of this ownership bias in ...
Does the Preferences for Creativity Scale Predict Engineering Students' Ability to Generate and Select Creative Design Alternatives?
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Creativity is universally acknowledged as an important attribute of successful engineering design, but individual attributes and preferences can influence whether creative ideas come to fruition during the design process. ...
But Is It Creative? Delineating the Impact of Expertise and Concept Ratings on Creative Concept Selection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While creativity is often stressed in the conceptual phases of design, it is rarely considered during the concept selection process. Before effective methods can be developed to aid in creative concept section, however, ...
The Impact of Example Modality and Physical Interactions on Design Creativity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Interacting with example products is an essential and widely practiced method in engineering design, yet little information exists on how the representation (pictorial or physical) or interaction a designer has with an ...
Hit, Miss, or Error? Predicting Errors in Design Decision Making for Radically Innovative Ideas Using Individual Attributes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Researchers and practitioners alike agree that for companies to survive and thrive they must develop and support radical innovation. However, these ideas are complex and risky, and not all succeed. Because of this, decision ...
The Effects of Gender and Idea Goodness on Ownership Bias in Engineering Design Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concept selection is a critical stage of the engineering design process because of its potential to influence the direction of the final design. While formalized selection methods have been developed to increase its ...
How Concept Selection Tools Impact the Development of Creative Ideas in Engineering Design Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concept selection tools have been heavily integrated into engineering design education in an effort to reduce the risks and uncertainties of early-phase design ideas and aid students in the decision-making process. However, ...
Are Creativity and Self-Efficacy at Odds? An Exploration in Variations of Product Dissection in Engineering Education
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of product dissection is to teach students how a product works and provide them with inspiration for new ideas. However, little is known about how variations in dissection activities impact creative outcomes ...
When Are Designers Willing to Take Risks? How Concept Creativity and Prototype Fidelity Influence Perceived Risk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Building prototypes is an important part of the concept selection phase of the design process, where fuzzy ideas get represented to support communication and decision making. However, the previous studies have shown that ...
Out in the Field Versus Inside in the Lab: A Comparison of Design Professionals’ Concept Screening Practices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concept screening is one of the gatekeepers of innovation process and thus is considered a vital component of engineering design. Yet, we know very little about how decisions are made during concept screening or the factors ...
