Summary

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.
