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:
In recent years, the number of consumer products incorporating a combination of mechanical and electronic systems has increased enormously. Because of this development we decided to start a course called ‘Mechatronics in product design’ (Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering at Delft University of Technology). The paper describes the course (lectures, practical exercises and assessment) in detail. What we learned is; course books on mechatronics in product design are not available, control engineering is tuff stuff for IDE students, hands-on exercises (or using simulation software) is very helpful and the more integration between mechanical and electrical engineering the better.
