“…This study supports the literature by pointing out that design is a knowledge intensive, complex, iterative and multidimensional process (e.g. Norman 1986, Blank 2007Ries 2010;Yang et al 2013). In fact, the design process is becoming even more complex and iterative as designers begin to focus more on the user and business perspectives.…”

“…Therefore, understanding the role that users and customers play is critical for successful design activities (Norman 1986). Yang et al (2013) pointed out that product design knowledge is often complex, multidimensional and unstructured. Furthermore, Alamäki et al (2016) found in their case study that not all ideas or concepts can be tested with screenshots, mock-ups or minimum viable products, as there are features that require building a functional prototype for testing purposes.…”

The present study sheds new light on the knowledge dimensions and processes that occur when designing new concepts and prototypes in higher education. In particular, this study aims to develop the conceptual understanding of activities and processes that help students to gain new knowledge and understanding while designing new products and services. I employed two data collection phases among undergraduate students with qualitative abductive data analyses in order to create a conceptual framework for understanding how new knowledge is created and managed in students' social interactions. This framework also enables us to distinguish the user, business, technological and methodological knowledge dimensions that constitute the elemental perspectives for design processes. This study emphasises the need for students to use diverse methods to gain new knowledge for inventing and designing new technological solutions.

Aircraft is a typical transportation facility and its development need to refer to the existing knowledge. With the rapid increase of knowledge, a knowledge map may deliver excess knowledge to users that they cannot manage at once, thereby causing the problem of knowledge overload. Hence, a novel method for adaptive knowledge map construction was proposed to solve this problem. First, the knowledge was semantically annotated and stored with the domain ontology and a knowledge model that integrates context. Then, user requirement was described by the context of product design, and knowledge nodes that met users' requirement could be extracted from the knowledge retrieval technology on the basis of context similarity. Finally, the connection between knowledge nodes was constructed with a composite connection model, and the knowledge map was visualized using a hierarchical approach. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the constructed knowledge map was applied in an airplane wing design to assist users in browsing the knowledge base. Results indicate that the proposed method can change the displayed contents according to user requirement and identify the displayed knowledge nodes at a highly acceptable level, the constructed knowledge map can guide users efficiently, and the knowledge overload can be reduced significantly.

“…6 Park 7 devoted to the next generation information appliance by user-centered design, and developed a knowledge management system to acquire and save knowledge used in the design process for users' own product design. Based on ontology, Yang et al 8 proposed building design knowledge map to extract relevant design knowledge to help designers reconstruct specific design cases, and promote design innovation. Li et al 9 divided design knowledge domain into creative knowledge domain and engineering knowledge domain according to the product design process, and proposed a double push strategy of knowledge for product design based on complex network theory to provide effective support for designers.…”

Industrial design is a complex process that contains multifarious product knowledge systems which play different roles at different stages of product development. Based on the research of different theories and methods of knowledge classification, the article proposes a new method which divides industrial design knowledge into knowledge in the field, near-field knowledge, and far-field knowledge, and established a corresponding frame of the design knowledge. In order to differentiate the near-field knowledge which is more innovative in design from considerable knowledge to facilitate an efficient design process, mechanisms of similarity searching are used. If 0.3 < [Formula: see text] (similarity) < 0.6, then define the case as the near-field product case and the relative knowledge as near-field knowledge. The core knowledge can be retrieved to drive innovative modeling. Furthermore, the process of a laptop design is taken as an example and validated using this method.
