Design Theory Project BEST Home | Project Info | Presentations | Publications | People | Links Engineering design is a complex technical pursuit mediated by social process such as communication, negotiation, and shared agreements. Given the complex orchestration of craft, human cognition, and social dynamics, a wide range of perspectives, including technical problem-soving, social networks, and theory/philosophy, is important for studying designing. The overall goal of the project is to understand and improve engineering design process by studying both the cognition of an individual designer and the group dynamics. Current projects are: Time Variation of Design "Story Telling" in Engineering Design Teams Creativity in New Product Development Teams: Metrics and Methodology for automated Assessment |
