RISAssessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers routinely create informal “thinking” sketches to explore a design space, “talking” sketches to communicate design ideas during the early phases of the design process, and “learning” prototypes to test potential ...
Generative Design: Reframing the Role of the Designer in Early-Stage Design Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Generative design tools empowered by recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) offer the opportunity for human designers and design tools to collaborate in new, more advanced modes throughout various stages of ...
Biased Information Passing Between Subsystems Over Time in Complex System Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the early stage design of largescale engineering systems, design teams are challenged to balance a complex set of considerations. The established structured approaches for optimizing complex system designs offer ...
Objects of Collaboration: Roles and Sequences of Objects in Spanning Knowledge Group Boundaries in Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Spanning knowledge group boundaries is both a source of and barrier to design performance and innovation. Objects—from prototypes to kanban boards—are frequently used in cross-functional design practice, but their associated ...
The Influence of Digital Sketching Tools on Concept Novelty and Evolution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Digital tools for sketching, such as tablets, have become popular for streamlining design work and keeping a large quantity of sketches in one place. However, their impact on design creativity, novelty, and concept evolution ...
Paper or Tablet? The Impact of Digital Tools on Sketching During Engineering Design Concept Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sketching is an important tool for engineers during concept generation. Sketch quantity during this early stage of design has been linked with eventual design outcomes and sketch quality has been linked with design ...
