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:
The aim of the paper is to reveal phenomena of integrated design engineering in practice by comparing four different product developments in a case study. Based on our universal questionnaire, the product developments in the branch automotive, sports optics, power tools and camera are analyzed in terms of their abilities in the field of problem solving, complexity and traceability. With the help of the collected data, we confirm well-known product development phenomena such as the ill-definedness of goals, communication as complexity driver and the lack of traceability in design rationale.
