Design Information Support Tool (DIST): Its Development and Effectiveness Investigation
(2006)
A number of software tools exist to assist the designer during the design process. These include tools for solid modeling of components, programs for simulating complex systems, for generating machining code and so on. ...
An Investigation on the Effectiveness of Design Ideation Using TRIZ
(2006)
Design ideation continues to be one of the mysterious and yet a very important part of the design process. In the past, there have been studies related to how people generate ideas, why some are more productive in idea ...
An investigation on industry-sponsored design projects' effectiveness at the first-year level: potential issues and preliminary results
(2006)
This paper presents the preliminary work for developing guidelines to ensure that industry-sponsored projects in first-year courses aid, not hamper, retention of students. Specifically, the overall research plan includes ...
The Five-Factor Model personality assessment for improved student design team performance
(2006)
Researchers have long noted the correlation of various personality traits and team performance. Studies relating aggregate team personality traits to team performance are scattered in the literature and may not always be ...
A Compromise Experimental Design Method for Parametric Polynomial Response Surface Approximations
(2006)
This study presents a compromise approach to augmentation of experimental designs, necessitated by the expense of performing each experiment (computational or physical), that yields higher quality parametric polynomial ...
