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:
Idea generation in engineering design is most often studied within the context of specific tasks, such as brainstorming, mindmapping, TRIZ, etc. Additionally, researchers tend to constrain their search to time and activities within the workday and at the workplace, to understand and improve the process of creating ideas. This work examines creative ideation activities in engineering design from a broader perspective. We aim to 1) identify what accompanying activities designers are engaged in when they get ideas, 2) determine whether the activities occur within or outside of the direct context of
