RISAre 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 ...
Not 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 ...
Piecing Together Product Dissection: How Dissection Conditions Impact Student Conceptual Understanding and Cognitive Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product dissection has been widely deployed in engineering education as a means to aid in student's understanding of functional product elements, development of new concept ideas, and their preparation for industry. However, ...
