This chapter commences by introducing the background to the development of the Function-
Behaviour-Structure (FBS) ontology. It then proceeds with an elaboration of the FBS …

This research sought to examine whether analogical and metaphorical reasoning could be
taught as a teaching strategy to enhance students' creative thinking in the design process …

The engineering design process can produce stress that endures even after it has been
completed. This may be particularly true for students who engage with the process as …

Highlights•Both sketching and CAD modelling played a markedly similar role in mixed

This research investigated the effect of warm-up activities on cognitive states during concept
generation. Psychophysiological tools including electroencephalography (EEG) and …

Purpose Learning systematic conceptual design approaches could be difficult for students
who are asked to adapt their intuitive design rationale to more abstract and divergent …

Innovative products are almost a necessity nowadays; however, educational institutions do
not have reliable data about which methods should be instructed, nor how. For this reason …

Abstract Concept selection is an integral stage in the design process, in which designers
evaluate and compare solutions to select a smaller subset of solutions for further …

Although morphological charts are widely taught used tools in engineering design, little
formal guidance is provided regarding their representation and exploration. Thus, an …

The natural-language approach to identifying biological analogies exploits the existing
format of much biological knowledge, beyond databases created for biomimetic design …
