Improving engineering design : contribution of cognitive ergonomics / Winfried Hacker

Conference presented at the 13th International Ergonomics Association Triennial Congress, IEA'97. This was held in Tampere, Finland, June 29-July 4, 1997. The Congress was hosted by the Nordic Ergonomics Society and the Finnish Ergonomics Society

Engineering design is analysed in terms of design problem-solving. Engineering designers of differing productivity hardly differ in mental abilities, especially their tested intelligence. However, their differ in their strategies concerning the analysis of requirements and of the problem, in their search for general principles solving the relevant problem, and in the procedures used for developing specific solutions. Possibilities for assisting design problem-solving and to improve the training of designers are discussed
