The instructions were simple and open-ended: "Design to fill a need".
All of those products were developed by the new genre of open-ended design processes, which deploy advanced production technologies, like 3-D printing, to enable the people who will use the finished objects to take critical design decisions about them.
Participants responded to an open-ended design brief, working individually.
Mini-lessons were complemented by laboratories sessions, leading to an open-ended design project.
The charging cradle allows for Wiimotes to be recharged with both Motion Plus accessories and silicone sleeves attached thanks to an open-ended design.
The students were given an open-ended design assignment and five sub-tasks for ideation that encouraged reflective insights about individual and shared practices.
There were conflicts with the experiences of others, their 'beautifully ugly' experiments and the students' own perception of their incompetence in front of open-ended design tasks.
Here we address the open-ended design problem of how to select alloy systems that may be stable in a nanocrystalline state.
First, I survey the representational forms students generate when engaged in open-ended design activities in which they are asked to create representations of terrain.
In this paper we report the results of an in-depth study of engineering student approaches to open-ended design problems.
