The Legacy of Design: What Contribution does a Degree make to your Future Design Career?
Evans, Martyn David; Spruce, Jon // 2011
Much research has been conducted into the content of design curricula (Design Skills Advisory Panel, 2007; UK Design Skills Alliance, 2008) yet limited research has been undertaken into how early ...
THE MANAGEMENT OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES USING COMPLEMENTARY INFORMATION STRUCTURES
Huet, Greg; Fortin, Clément; McSorley, Grant; Toche, Boris // 2011
The reality of manufacturing planning is very different from the one of engineering design. Whereas the former must manage variables of an extrinsic nature (time, cost and quality), the latter ...
THE PROCESS OF OPTIMIZING MECHANICAL SOUND QUALITY IN PRODUCT DESIGN
Nielsen, Thomas Holst; Eriksen, Kaare Riise // 2011
The research field concerning optimizing product sound quality is a relatively unexplored area, and may become difficult for designers to operate in. In some degree, sound is a highly subjective ...
The Propagation and Evolution of Design Constraints: An Industrial Case Study
Nair, V. V.; Howard, J.T.; Culley, J. S.; Dekoninck, A. E.; McAloone, C. T. // 2011
The research in this paper reports a case study of a design project which had two scopes for a variant and an adaptive design type. This is quite common practice where designers commonly propose ...
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OF USER OBSERVATION
Gerber, Elizabeth // 2011
While scholars have studied what design practices accomplish, few have considered how people feel when enacting these practices and the implication of these feelings on design work. An eighteen-month ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A MODEL AND A FULL-SIZE OBJECT OR BUILDING: THE PERCEPTION AND INTERPRETATION OF MODELS
Eriksson, Yvonne; Florin, Ulrika // 2011
There is a naive belief in models as a blueprint for objects and environments that goes back to the epistemology of The Enlightenment. In the manufacturing industry and in society, many decisions ...
THE RETRIEVAL OF STRUCTURED DESIGN KNOWLEDGE
Wang, Hongwei; Johnson, Aylmer L.; Bracewell, Rob H. // 2011
n knowledge in new design projects. Specifically, methods for utilising various structured information are developed and implemented on a prototype keyword-based retrieval system developed in our ...
THE SCENARIO OF USER EXPERIENCE
Ortiz, Nicolas; Juan, Carlos; Aurisicchio, Marco // 2011
A steady stream of research in user experience (UX) has been produced in recent years, however, the published works in the form of theories, models and frameworks have not been reviewed and analysed ...
THE SEMANTIC DEBATE IN DESIGN THEORIES APPLIED TO PRODUCT IDENTITY CREATION
Bonnemaire, Gregoire; Liem, Andre // 2011
The process of form giving is a complex topic for product designers and is inherently connected to the field of aesthetics. Fundamental questions need answers. Are there absolute aesthetic principles ...
The Specificities of Radical Innovation
Motte,Damien; Yannou,Bernard; Bjärnemo,Robert // 2011
In this paper, we investigate a special case of new product development (NDP), that of radical innovation.When a company desires to go outside a current saturated market, it is necessary to offer a ...
The Use of Dependence Structure Matrix and SU-field of TRIZ in Simplifying the Complex Products
Jiang, P.; Wang, W.; Tan, R. // 2011
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a Dependence Structure Matrix and Su-Field of TRIZ that enables the complex structure simplify in project. The characteristics of the complex products ...
The Use of Graphic Representations in Semiconductor Engineering Team Problem Solving
Goldschmidt,Gabriela ; Surasky,Tali // 2011
Starting with the assumption that graphic representations contribute to design problem solving, this paper reports an experiment in which the performance of multidisciplinary engineering problem ...
THE USE OF STORYBOARD TO CAPTURE EXPERIENCES
Wikström, Anders; Andersson Schaeffer, Jennie; Öberg, Åsa; Eriksson, Yvonne // 2011
Today, product realization is becoming more squeezed in time and the need to capture experience from previous projects is an important factor for being successful in developing new products and ...
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR COMPREHENSIVE ABSTRACT PROTOTYPING METHODOLOGY
Horvath, Imre // 2011
Though abstract prototyping offers quality improvement and costs reduction in all branches of product development, it has gained popularity only in the software sector of the creative industry. This ...
Three Approaches to Complex System Decomposition
Chiriac, N.; Hölttä-Otto, K.; Lysy, D.; Suh, E.S. // 2011

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
