A descriptive framework of the design process from a dual cognitive-engineering perspective

TL;DR: A new descriptive framework is proposed of the design process from a dual cognitive-engineering perspective, partly based on existing frameworks from both fields and previous work by the author, representing the interface between cognitive psychology and engineering design.

ADOPT: An augmented set-based design framework with optimisation

TL;DR: This paper presents the Augmented set-based Design and OPTimisation (ADOPT) Framework, a novel methodology for integrating the two areas that allows for a thorough design-space exploration while ensuring the optimality of the selected designs.

Evaluating ideation using the publications Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and Make in coordination with a new patent search tool and the 6-3-5 method

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated four ideation techniques: use of the publications Popular Science and Popular Mechanics, use of publication Make and use of a new patent search tool and 6-3-5 "brain writing" technique.
