Exploring Generative Design Thinking for Engineering Design and Design Education

Design and Analysis of the Component of Glass Cleaning Robot Using Generative Designing Module

“…In this paper, we discuss a critical part that underpins the development of the glass-cleaning robot [3]. Its results are given on the basis of a detailed study of generative design using Autodesk fusion 360 [4]. Multiple factors have been taken into account before finalizing which type of material will be the best for the component.…”

Board 411: Thinking Inversely in Engineering Design: Towards an Operational Definition of Generative Design Thinking

“…Thus, it may be assumed that GD requires generative design thinking (GDT). However, there is a dearth of research towards defining GDT and the relevant cognitive processes [18], [19]. The goal of our research is to explore the cognitive processes underlying GD to synthesize a definition of GDT.…”

Use of Generative Design and Shape Optimization Tools for Advanced Engineering Design

“…At Howard University, the Mechanical Engineering curriculum offers Introduction to CAD (Computer Aided Design) as a first-year course, along with Computer Aided Engineering, a third-year course that teaches advanced CAD with the inclusion of generative design and topology optimization -widely considered as advanced design techniques. These courses teach students how to use commercially available Computer Aided Engineering software for multidisciplinary system design and optimization [1][2][3][4][5]. With such acquired skills, students conceptualize complex engineering design problems in virtual spaces and solve those by using CAE software (i.e., Autodesk Fusion 360).…”
