Influence of Product Complexity and Customers Demographics on Co-Design.
(2012)
Co-design is an emerging trend in new product development that results in more active customer participation in product development than conventional design processes; it connects customers, designers, and engineers ...
Models to Enable Estimation of Marginal CO2 Emissions in Electricity Production and Urban Mobility Systems.
(2015)
CO2 produced from the combustion of fossil fuels for energy production in electricity and transportation sectors is the biggest source of climate change causing greenhouse gases (GHG) in the U.S. GHG mitigation policies ...
Informing Intentional Use of Prototyping in Engineering Design: Context-Specific Novice Approaches and Stakeholder Feedback
(2018)
Prototypes are essential tools that can be used strategically throughout the design process to increase the likelihood that a product achieves stakeholder needs. Prototyping allows physical or visual form to be given to ...
Interdisciplinary Interactions During R&D and Early Design of Large Engineered Systems.
(2014)
Designing Large-Scale Complex Engineered Systems (LaCES) such as aircraft and submarines requires the input of thousands of engineers and scientists whose work is proximate in neither time nor space. Comprehensive knowledge ...
Parametric Design within an Atomic Design Process (ADP) applied to Spacecraft Design.
(2011)
This thesis describes research investigating the development of a model for the initial design of complex systems, with application to spacecraft design. The design model is called an atomic design process (ADP) and ...
Design Heuristics.
(2010)
This thesis describes research carried to investigate the evidence of design heuristics and
their role in the design ideation process. Design heuristics are guidelines that help the
designer to consider areas of possible ...
