Manufacturable Micro Heat Sink Designs Through Design Filtering and Macro-Scale Optimization KU Leuven
Thermal management of electronic devices concerns the removal of heat from components to prevent premature failure and improve reliability. Current cooling strategies are under continuous pressure to deliver adequate performance, and ongoing component miniaturization and compact packaging techniques have driven the need for further innovation in the field of thermal management. To this end, topology optimization has increasingly been applied to ...
Classical design structure of orthogonal designs with six to eight factors and sixteen runs Universiteit Antwerpen
Most two-level fractional factorial designs used in practice involve independent or fully confounded effects (so-called regular designs). For example, for 16 runs and 6 factors, the classical resolution IV design with defining relation I = ABCE = BCDF = ADEF has become the de facto gold standard. Recent work has indicated that non-regular orthogonal designs could be preferable in some circumstances. Inhibiting a wider usage of these non-regular ...
Desire for design : an integrative study of consumer responses to product & package design Universiteit Gent
A V-model for More: An inclusive design model supporting interaction between designer and user Universiteit Hasselt
Designers aiming to design for all users experience difficulties when realizing this in practice. More insight is needed into practical constraints and potential obstacles regarding inclusive designing. Therefore, this paper proposes a design model of an inclusive design process focussing on the interaction between designer and user information from the start of the project. The presented model, based on a V-model created in software design, ...
Rethinking the education of retail design. What are the competences a retail designer needs in this fast evolving discipline? Universiteit Hasselt
It has been our hypothesis that designing for retail in the future would strongly benefit from more specialized education and training programs, truly integrating social sciences and design disciplines. To this end, we are currently aiming to launch a postgraduate certificate program on retail design. In preparing this program, we have critically reviewed the three different educational programs that we already organize on retail design. To have ...
Decrypting the IT Needs of the Designer During the Creative Stages of the Design Process Universiteit Hasselt
Designers are frequently challenged by complex projects in which the problem space is unique, rapidly changing, and the information available is limited. In such cases, combining knowledge from different fields of expertise is required. Furthermore, collaboration during the design process is essential for achieving a meaningful and well-formed solution. Designers therefore regularly find themselves exchanging ideas and reflections in the form of ...
Children’s roles in Participatory Design processes: making the role of process designer ‘work’ KU Leuven
Recent academic debates have urged us to rethink children’s roles in Participatory Design (PD). In this article, we feed this discussion by putting the role of process designer into practice, allowing children to define a PD process and methods. We report on a case study in which we involved children (aged 10 – 12) to generate ideas about the ‘Stiemerbeek’ valley (Genk, Belgium). Applying the concept of ‘Handlungsspielraum’as analytical lens, ...
