Project #69: Assessing and improving a method for design guidance

Back

Description:

A computer-based method has been developed to provide dynamic guidance for the design process. The purpose is to help an inexperienced designer by guiding them to the next step in the design process, considering the status of the design they are working on and their desired design outcome.

This final year project will apply the proposed design guidance method to a design context you are familiar with (e.g. one or more of the MECHENG 235/236/334 design projects). By assessing how well the method works for a realistic design problem, you will identify its strengths and limitations and develop proposals to improve it. Depending on progress, these improvements may then be evaluated using user experiments.
