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:
Knowledge is a very common term in engineering design and also extensively discussed. Even if it is not an explicit matter, it plays implicitly a role in the background. The Characteristics-Properties Modelling / Property-Driven Development (CPM/PDD) approach is one possibility to illustrate the product development process. This paper provides a closer look on design knowledge in the context of CPM/PDD. The description of product knowledge in CPM/PDD is thereby straightforward. The more complicated part is the description of process knowledge. Therefore, the method of reduction is transferred from theoretical computer science into the context of engineering design. The result indicates what design knowledge is, especially in CPM/PDD.
