Analogue simulation
… Such problems must often lie in the field of engineering design, research and development. Given the differential equations, the amplifiers are connected to perform the mathematical operations indicated by the terms of differential equations. The accuracy of the solution obtained is limited by …

On the use of machine learning with design optimization data for system topology design
… homogeneous and heterogeneous system topology design. The core contribution is to begin bridging the gap between data science and design science. The key principle is to extract meaningful knowledge and insights from design data, and to build machine learning models that enable effective design …

Methodological investigations into design inspiration and fixation experiments
Designers often look for inspiration in their environment when exploring possible solutions to a given problem. However, many studies have reported that external stimuli may constrain designers’ imagination and limit their exploration to similar solutions, a phenomenon described as design fixation. …

Contextual Shaping of Student Design Practices: The Role of Constraint in First-Year Engineering Design
Research on engineering design is a core area of concern within engineering education, and a fundamental understanding of how engineering students approach and undertake design is necessary in order to develop effective design models and pedagogies. This dissertation contributes to scholarship on …

Experts and novices: Differences in their use of mental representation and metacognition in engineering design
Research shows that mental representation such as analogical reasoning is a fundamental cognitive tool for design problem solving (Daugherty & Mentzer, 2008; Hey, Lensey, Agogino, & Wood, 2008; Lewis, 2008). Not much is known, however, about the way students and professional engineers actively …
