  • How personality affects creativity in concept ideation

    Creator:
    Berthelsdorf, Friederich A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis uses the manuscript option, and consists of a previously-published paper and a paper that has been accepted for publication. Manuscript One details an independent confirmatory study to Choo et al. (2014), which demonstrated that correlations exist between personality type and the outcome of concept ideation methods. This is...

  • Innovation strategies for product design

    Creator:
    Nix, Anthony A.
    Abstract:
    Innovation can be considered the driving force behind product design. This thesis strives to improve the ease at which innovation is achieved. Firstly by examining how design information is presented and comprehended by various personality types. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test is a quick, easy, and accurate way to determine...

  • Customer needs elicitation and disability simulation suit validation to benefit knowledge and methods for inclusive product design

    Creator:
    Armstrong, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Current product design methodologies are not conducive to creating inclusive products (products that meet the needs of persons with and without disabilities). In order to reduce the effort and expense involved in creating inclusive products, empathic design principles are applied to discover whether customer needs for people with disabilities can...

  • A design framework for identifying automation opportunities

    Creator:
    Nagel, Robert Lewis, 1982-
    Abstract:
    Since the Industrial Revolution, automated systems have increasingly become a part of everyday life. Automated systems range in scale and scope from simple assists to complete robotic replacements. Inexpensive integrated circuits, sensors and microprocessors have allowed automated systems to become smaller, cheaper and more prevalent. Identifying appropriate opportunities for automation,...

  • A Preliminary Methodology For Automating Functional Modeling

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Katherine N.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the combination of two research publications working towards automating functional modeling. Functional modeling is an underutilized yet critical tool for concept generation and product design. Understanding the difficulty both novice and expert designers have in implementing functional modeling in their design process, this research sets out to...

  • Reverse engineering, modeling, and redesign of a vibratory conveyor

    Creator:
    Foglesong, Timothy J.
    Abstract:
    Some successful products are still developed and produced without the benefit of modern design techniques. One such product is a vibratory conveyor that has been developed largely through prototype iteration. The manufacturer has collaborated with Oregon State University to introduce model-based design into the development process. This research details a...

  • Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

    Creator:
    Poppa, Kerry R.
    Abstract:
    A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentation to the user. In general, results are an undifferentiated mass of potential solutions. Analysis...
