E&PDE 2024 - 26th International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education
The Conference will bring together representatives from education and industry interested in sharing new perspectives on design education.
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:
Product design workshops represent environments where technological progress has had a significant impact, especially in prototype creation processes, encompassing both the technology employed in construction and integrated components. However, project management activities persist in being conventionally addressed, susceptible to increasing the margin of error in product manufacturing and extending the time required to conclude the planning phase. This paper delves into the initial integration of a generative artificial intelligence assistant in the search for relevant information for the execution of product design projects in manufacturing workshop environments. The advanced capabilities of generative data processing are harnessed with the aspiration that this assistant becomes a dynamic collaborator, efficiently supporting and guiding the student throughout the prototype creation process. This initial approach of the assistant was applied to prototype and manufacturing courses in the 4th and 6th semesters of the Product Design program.
