Enabling Flexibility in Engineering Systems: A Taxonomy of Procedures and a Design Framework

TL;DR: A five-phase taxonomy of systematic procedures to enable flexibility in the design and management of engineering systems operating under uncertainty is presented, providing guidance to organize ongoing research efforts, and highlights potential contribution areas in this field of engineering design research.

Conceptions of the Engineering Design Process: An Expert Study of Advanced Practicing Professionals

TL;DR: Examination of experts' conceptions of the design process in relation to a model synthesized from several introductory engineering textbooks focuses especially on the case of one engineer who commented extensively on communication, articulating a view of engineering design as open, multi-participant, and multidisciplinary, with implications for how to conceptualize expertise in engineering problem solving.

Specification technique for the description of self-optimizing mechatronic systems

TL;DR: This contribution presents a new specification technique for the conceptual design of mechatronic and self-optimizing systems and uses the railway technology as a complex example, to demonstrate how to use this specification technique and in which way it profits for the development of future mechanical engineering systems.
