Using electroencephalography (EEG) to predict design outcomes could be used in many applications as it facilitates the correlation of engagement and cognitive workload with ideation effectiveness. It also establishes a basis for the connection between EEG measurements and common constructs in engineering design research. In this paper, we propose a support vector machine (SVM)-based prediction model for design outcomes using EEG metrics and some demographic factors as predictors. We trained and validated the model with more than 100 concepts, and then evaluated the relationship between EEG data and concept-level measures of novelty, quality, and elaboration. The results characterize the combination of engagement and workload that is correlated with good design outcomes. Findings also suggest that EEG technologies can be used to partially replace or augment traditional ideation metrics and to improve the efficacy of ideation research.

“…Truth is that, the success of the learning process that furnished by teachers and experienced by students in the classroom is measured by student achievements. A study by Booth et al (2016) testified that incorporated in systematic and intensive trainings such as sketch training will produce more effective effects in short term. Matanluk et al (2013) studied on the application of the module of geography teaching has enhanced thinking skills as one of the student-centered approaches.…”

NEED ANALYSIS: DEVELOPMENT OF LK-D&T SKETCH MODULE FOR FORM ONE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY (D&T) SUBJECT IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

et al. 2019

This study is a need analysis of the development of sketch module for secondary D&T students. This study is in a form of a survey using questionnaire as a research instrument. A total of 287 teachers were involved in the study sample. The study sample was randomly selected. The data were analyzed using a descriptive analysis to meet the objectives of the study. The findings show that teachers are facing difficulties in implementing D&T teaching in schools. The majority of teaching teachers consist of non-option D&T teachers, lack of D&T knowledge and skills, intensive course requirements, less teaching aids and less conducive workshops. Students found that it was difficult to master topics that the teachers teach, especially the topic of sketching. The majority of teachers agree that the topic of sketching ought to be developed in a way to enhance students understanding, and along with helping the less skilled teachers. The implication of the study is that this module can be used by D&T teachers and students as a reference to improve the teaching and learning to become more effective.

“…Sketching has been demonstrated to help designers with handling abstraction, the understanding of ill-defined problems, enhancing problem solving, and aiding in communication (Booth, Taborda, Ramani, & Reid, 2016). Even with the comprehensive adoption of computeraided design (CAD) software packages in secondary and post-secondary technology and engineering programs, sketching remains a widely used and required component of coursework in these areas.…”
