SUMMARY:A Prescriptive Model of the Conceptual Engineering Design Process B
 ased on Parameter Analysis and C-K Theory
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Gil Weisbrod\n Faculty:Department of Aerospace Enginee
 ring\n Institute:Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\n Location:Cl
 assroom 165\, ground floor\, Library\, Aerospace Eng.\n Zoom: \n Abstract:
  \n Details: \n The importance of the conceptual design stage within the p
 rocess of engineering design of a new product is well known. This stage is
  considered the most important in terms of its effect on the success of th
 e final product. A better understanding of the conceptual design stage\, a
 chieved through research\, will lead to products with better quality and v
 alue and shorter time to market.\nThe objective of the current research wa
 s to develop a new prescriptive model for the conceptual engineering desig
 n stage\, based on the theoretical foundation of C-K Theory and the empiri
 cally-derived conceptual design method called Parameter Analysis (PA). The
  proposed model is intended to combine the benefits of C-K Theory and PA\,
  as well as overcome the lack of a strong theoretical foundation in PA and
  the insufficient prescriptive power of C-K Theory. The development proces
 s of the new model was similar to product development. It started with con
 ceptualization in order to define a set of key factors and principles\, i.
 e.\, the conceptual foundation or the “ideology” of the new prescripti
 ve model. Next\, those principles were integrated into a structured system
 atic procedure to form the new model\, called ICE (Idea-Configuration-Eval
 uation). In the last stage\, the new model was tested and evaluated in a d
 esign experiment by examining the performance of external participants whe
 n applying it. Two categories of success criteria have been planned: appli
 cability of the process and effectiveness of both the process and its outc
 ome. Depending on these two categories\, a set of metrics were developed.\
 nThe study's conclusions are that the new model\, whose correctness and ef
 fectiveness are strongly based on the widely-accepted C-K Theory\, present
 s a clear and concise step-by-step procedure\, is conducive to teaching an
 d practicing design\, and captures the dynamics and rationale of the conce
 ptual design process. Thus\, the ICE model has the potential to facilitate
  creativity and innovation\, as well as high-quality and viable conceptual
  design\, with respect to the design requirements and other aspects.\nThe 
 significance of the current research is in its contribution to the theory 
 and practice of engineering design\, eventually leading to improved design
  processes and better designed products.
