In April 1991 Business Week ran a cover story entitled, “I Can’t Work This ?#!!@ Thing,” about the difficulties many people have with consumer products, such as cell phones and VCRs. Today, more than ...

Why does anything have to change? A manufacturing company’s most critical product decisions are made every day in design reviews. And if you assess the state of what a design review looks like today, ...

Designing electronic systems has become measurably more complex during the past decade. Many of the products that are developed today are in-fact complex interconnected systems. Using the automotive ...

The automated design of imaging systems involving no or minimal human effort has always been the expectation of scientists, researchers and optical engineers. In addition, it is challenging to choose ...

Have you ever thought about how and why something was designed? Who was considered a “stakeholder” for the design? And what biases are baked within the process of designing something? These are some ...

In this chapter, we report our broad conclusions related to each of the themes we introduced at the start of the report. These conclusions reflect detailed consideration of (1) our research into ...
