Design And Product Development

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a powerful tool for teaching that helps students to get the best out of their effort in terms of the learning results obtained, even more in studies like university degree studies in engineering. A way of getting even more of this is by means of the adaptation of methodologies from different knowledge areas, because this allows the launch of innovative ways of working with certain guarantees of success from the very first moment, and at the same time to integrate skills from different fields within a shared context. Besides, it helps to put to practice some transversal competences. Here a case is shown of the successful adaptation of the methodology of Systems of Layouts, as used in Graphic Design, to a University Degree of Engineering in Industrial Design and Product Development.

Design Style

Conventional design practices regard gender as a given precondition defined by femininity and masculinity. To shift these strategies to include non-heteronormative or queer users, queer theory served as a source of inspiration as well as user sensitive design techniques. As a result, a co-design workshop was developed and executed. Participants supported claims that gender scripts in designed artefacts uphold gender norms. The practice did not specify a definition of a queer design style. However, the co-design practice opened up the design process to non-normative gender scripts by unmasking binary gender dichotomies in industrial design.

AbstractThe success of complex product development projects strongly depends on the clear definition of target factors that allow a reliable statement about the fulfilment of the product requirements. In the context of tolerancing and robust design, Key Characteristics (KCs) have been established for this purpose and form the basis for all downstream activities. In order to integrate the activities related to the KC definition into product development as early as possible, the often vaguely formulated requirements must be translated into quantifiable KCs. However, this is primarily a manual process, so the results strongly depend on the experience of the design engineer.In order to overcome this problem, a novel computer-aided approach is presented, which automatically derives associated functions and KCs already during the definition of product requirements. The approach uses natural language processing and formalized design knowledge to extract and provide implicit information from the requirements. This leads to a clear definition of the requirements and KCs and thus creates a founded basis for robustness evaluation at the beginning of the concept design stage. The approach is exemplarily applied to a window lifter.

Abstract It is well-known that so-called Concurrent Engineering is a desirable alternative to the largely sequential methods which tend to dominate most product development methods. However, the proper implementation of a concurrent engineering method is still relatively rare. In order to facilitate the development of a reliable concurrent engineering product development method, we start with a careful definition of concurrent engineering and, after an extensive study of all of product development, we propose three criteria which ideal concurrent engineering must satisfy. However, for labor, time, and overall cost considerations, ideal concurrent engineering is infeasible. Instead, we propose a computer-based environment which, by being constructed in accordance with the three criteria, attempts to approach ideal concurrent engineering. The result is the Virtual Concurrent Engineering method and computer implementation environment. This product development method and computer-based implementation system provide the detailed, structured information and data needed to optimally balance the product with respect to the main product development parameters (e.g., manufacturing costs, assembly, reliability). This important information includes re-design suggestions to improve the existing design. The designer can directly apply these re-design suggestions for design optimization, or he can use the results as input into a more complex design optimization or design parameterization function of his own. To demonstrate Virtual Concurrent Engineering, we use it to refine earlier work done by the authors in the Design for Producibility of stamped products. We discuss, in some detail, the results of applying Design for Producibility to complex stampings, including process plans and product producibility computations.
