Optimization as a support for selection and design of aircraft actuation systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used simulation and optimization to evaluate different competitive concepts of electrically powered actuation systems, such as Power by Wire systems, in order to compare different concepts with each other and with a conventional actuation system.

Empirical Studies of Design Thinking: Past, Present, Future

TL;DR: Empirical methods used for studying design thinking have included verbal protocols, case studies, and controlled experiments, which have looked at the role of design methods, strategies, tools, environment, experience, and group dynamics.

Modeling the Effect of Product Architecture on Mass-Collaborative Processes

TL;DR: An agent-based model is presented to study how the degree of modularity of products and the sequence of decoupling affect the evolution time of individual modules and overall products developed through mass-collaborative product development processes.

Design-based Pedagogy: Investigating an emerging approach to teaching design to non-designers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a definition for design-based pedagogy and catalogs a list of corresponding variables collected through a survey of experienced design and design thinking instructors, demonstrating that this learning environment is robust in comparison to a variety of educational frameworks.

A study of biologically-inspired design as a context for enhancing student innovation

TL;DR: The research compared ideation behavior among mechanical engineering students from a capstone design class to Mechanical engineering students who had taken a semester-long course specifically focused on biologicallyinspired design, and the result was statistically-significant.
