APPLICATION OF REVERSE ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES IN THE TEACHING OF ENGINEERING DESIGN
Calderon, M. L. // 2010
Existing studies show that D/A/A (Disassemble, Analyse, Assemble) activities can become a popular pedagogy to provide engineering design students practical hands-on experience in the classroom, ...
APPLICATION OF SUSTAINABLE ASPECTS TO THE SET-BASED DESIGN METHOD
Inoue, M.; Lindow, K.; Stark, R.; Ishikawa, H. // 2010
Decision-making at the early phases of design is important for a sustainable product life cycle. The proposed preference set-based design (PSD) method can generate a ranged set of design solutions ...
APPROACH FOR DEVELOPMENT COST ESTIMATION IN EARLY DESIGN PHASES
Hellenbrand, D.; Helten, K.; Lindemann, U. // 2010
A lot of methods deal with the prediction of production or life-cycle costs. At the same time in engineering design there are almost no methods available to predict development costs. These are also ...
Approach towards a more Flexible Handling of Domains in ComplexSystems
Kohn, A.; Lindemann, U. // 2010
Design Structure Matrix (DSM), Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM) and Multiple Domain Matrix (MDM) methodologies offer a wide range for modelling and analysing complex systems. All these methodologies model ...
Art-ethnography to Analyze the Role of Sketches in Car Designing

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.
