Abstract:
In the 1980s a set of colour slides was developed to teach students the design history of the car. This developed from a student teaching aid to being a research project, investigating design paradigms for cars using statistical processes to analyse changes and developments. The paper includes the research questions, methods and some results, concluding by asking how the research might be used to develop a teaching aid for students.
