Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Industrial Design Engineers have problems finding useful information on the Internet in a short amount of time. To help designers, a Conceptual Design Engineering Toolbox (C-DET) is being set up including a knowledge portal to find appropriate sites, books, experts, tools etc. In a short time. Four search categories have been developed for C-DET, each providing the designer with a navigation tree to find useful information. We have studied whether the information in the Product Domains category could be supported by using start pages. After some use tests, we concluded that for finding information about a product, C-DET and start pages are a good solution.
