In engineering, the Taguchi method of quality control focuses on design and development to create efficient, reliable products.

You know the feeling: The paint is dry, the furniture looks good, but somehow the whole thing still feels unfinished. Designers have a trick for that, and it's surprisingly easy. Called the "Sandwich ...

How small is too small for design-build? This question was asked at last year’s Design-Build Institute of America’s (DBIA) Federal Project Delivery Symposium, and it stumped the panel of federal owner ...

The conceptual design stage is a key step in aircraft development, laying the foundation for performance, efficiency and innovation. Traditionally, this process relies heavily on experienced designers ...

The Rhode Island School of Design uses recipes to teach the trial-and-error process of tweaking and refining a product. To study the method of iterative design ...

Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an important technique for this, as it reveals detailed insights ...

Only one minor at Dartmouth finds students building roller coasters into the wee hours of the morning and taking over dorm common rooms as they cut up pieces of paper into as many different square ...

Rendered model showing a complex 3D structure made up of thousands of repeating microscopic patterns. By teaching an AI model to predict the behavior of these patterns, the Drexel team can design ...
