Improving Result Quality in Engineering Design by Better Linking Employee’s and Task’s Features

  • Conference paper
Smart Product Engineering

Abstract

Human interference with engineers’ activities negatively influences engineering tasks’ success. Regarding human influence is therefore a promising approach to improve that success. This Paper examines the aspect of man-induced disturbances in Systematic Engineering Design processes. Based on a lab study done with engineering students and interviews with engineers in industry a model of how to link engineering tasks with the most appropriate problem solving design engineer is developed. To underline the importance of the model, specific background information on Design Theory approaches is given.
