A User-Centred Design Support Framework to Develop Aesthetically Pleasing and Sustainable Over-the-Counter Pharmaceutical Packaging

Tamasine Camilleri, Philip Farrugia, Paul Refalo // 2022
Stakeholders consider aesthetics and sustainability as important aspects of over-the-counter pharmaceutical (OTCP) packaging, and studies show that their interests should be represented more. To ...

A Writing Typology for Designers

Madison Sabatelli // 2022
While design is often thought of as a visual field defined by renderings, models, and sketches, the use of writing can be just as pertinent and necessary. This paper presents seven writing types used ...

Access Logics for Situation-Appropriate Selection and Introduction of Methods in Engineering Design

Ammersdörfer, Theresa; Müller, Johannes; Heimicke, Jonas; Reichardt, Helena; Rapp,Simon; Inkermann, David; Albers, Albert // 2022
A main shortcoming of existing method guides is that they rely on fixed activities and process-maturity levels without paying attention to the specific application context. This research aims at ...

Accessing the Inaccessible: Demonstrators as Sources of Tacit Knowledge

Aleksandra Sviridova, Drim Stokhuijzen, Jouke Verlinden // 2022
This paper highlights a recently identified by the community perspective of design research, so far described as "inaccessible", discusses the potential of "designerly" way of approaching it in order ...

Active-Learning Combined with Topology Optimization for Top-Down Design of Multi-Component Systems

Lukas Krischer, Anand Vazhapilli Sureshbabu, Markus Zimmermann // 2022
In top-down design, optimal component requirements are difficult to derive, as the feasible components that satisfy these requirements are yet to be designed and hence unknown. Meta models that ...

Adaptation of the Integrated Function Modelling Framework

Krüger, Merlin Frederik; Gericke, Kilian // 2022
The integrated function modelling framework is used for functional analysis of technical moderate complex systems, but requires specific adaptation in modelling to visualize the behaviour of specific ...

Adaptive E-Learning for the Engineering Design Education at Ruhr-University Bochum

Frederike Kossack, Daniela Kattwinkel, Beate Bender // 2022

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.
