Abstract: Abstract. This study investigates how gender identity interacts with ecodesign cues to shape consumer purchase preferences, focusing on the social perception of sustainability as a gendered behavior. Prior work identifies ...

Abstract: Design-by-analogy (DbA) is an important method for innovation that has gained much attention due to its history of leading to successful and novel design solutions. The method uses a repository of existing design solutions ...

Abstract: This study works toward addressing a knowledge gap in understanding how heuristics are developed, retrieved, employed, and modified by designers. Having a better awareness of one’s own set of heuristics can be beneficial ...

Abstract: Abstract. The clean-energy transition provides a unique opportunity to design a more just energy system. This paper introduces the Justice-Embedded Requirements Engineering (JERE) Process—an iterative process made to enable ...

Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) rules or heuristics. It can be challenging for novice designers to create successful designs for additive manufacturing ...

Abstract: Machine condition monitoring has been proven to reduce machine downtime and increase productivity. The state-of-the-art research uses vibration monitoring for tasks such as maintenance and tool wear prediction. A less ...

Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use heuristics to effectively design for laser-cut manufacturing methods. With the recent advent of academic makerspaces, digital fabrication tools like laser ...

Abstract: Throughout the mechanical design process, designers, the majority of whom are men, often fail to consider the needs of women, resulting in consequences ranging from inconvenience to increased risk of serious injury or ...
