Sharing Experience in Engineering Design (SEED 2002)

Sharing Experience in Engineering Design is based on papers presented at the Engineering and Product Design Education Conference E & PDE 2002.

This volume is vital reading for all those students, practitioners, and professionals operating in the field of product and engineering design and education.

CONTENTS INCLUDE:

• The integration of design and business issues in the engineering curriculum
• What are the qualities and competencies required by product design employers? Product design courses lead the way in providing the graduate with the necessary skills to get the top job
• Designing for a sustainable future – promoting outreach through the use of case studies; Degree design – exploring creativity from the start
• Assessing creativity – theory and practice
• Developing an appreciation of the complex interactions between life-cycle analysis and design for manufacture
• Strategic design and product development – a practical application of business process re engineering in bespoke manufacturing
• Engineering design modules teaching by projects
• Product design project teaching, using athletic transport artefacts as the vehicle
• Sketching – a dying art? Overcoming human barriers to knowledge-based systems in design.
