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:
Engineering and design of products is changing rapidly. Products become more complex and interconnected, engineers need to work in interdisciplinary, globally distributed, multinational teams. Many tools and services have been moved into the cloud, in private life but also at the workspace. Another probable game changer is the crowd sourcing approach to outsource work to a group of people. At universities students are taught to design products with conventional CAD tools and attend lectures about project management, use of product lifecycle management (PLM) or challenges and obstacles of distributed product development. With this in mind, the University of Kaiserslautern together with a partner university and an automobile company initiated a pilot project, where students have to organise the development process by themselves using a full cloud CAD software.
