A ‘THEATRIC’ APPROACH TO THE TEACHING OF DESIGN
Matthews, Jason; Medland, Anthony // 2011
Design teaching is complicated due to its context specific nature. The teaching of it as an academic subject focuses on the core technologies of embodiment, detailing and manufacture. In order to put ...
ABSTRACT PROTOTYPING IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING: A REVIEW OF APPROACHES
Du Bois, Els; Horvath, Imre // 2011
Abstract prototyping (AP) is a pre-implementation testing approach in software engineering, based on low-fidelity prototypes. It supports demonstration and evolution of software concepts at an early ...
ACCEPTING AMBIGUITY OF ENGINEERING FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
Vermaas, Pieter // 2011
In this paper I consider four approaches to the ambiguity of engineering functional descriptions, and explore arguments for accepting this ambiguity. The first and second approach aim at resolving ...
ACQUISITION OF DESIGN-RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHEET-BULK METAL FORMING

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
