Engineering design : search and evaluation; coherence and correspondence; intuition and analysis
This thesis discusses the engineering design process. Specifically, it addresses the methods and metrics used and motivation behind decisions made during the design process. The design process was divided along several "cognitive dimensions": search and evaluation, coherence and correspondence, and …
