“…However, much work needs to be done to articulate what is truly meant by participation. Furthermore, novel digital tools that claim to democratize design, encourage participation, or empower stakeholders need to be subjected to rigorous experiments and trials that demonstrate the efficacy of such claims (Pelegrin et al, 2019;Winder et al, 2020).…”

In transdisciplinary engineering, the development of solutions increasingly relies on the utilization of computational modeling and simulation tools, skillfully wielded by experts in the field. Although these tools possess great power, they often inadvertently sideline individuals who lack technical expertise, excluding them from the solution design process. Recognizing this issue, we delve into a discussion concerning an experiment aimed at gauging the effectiveness of "inclusive" computational modeling techniques. These techniques are designed to actively involve non-technical stakeholders in the solution generation process. In our experiment, participants assumed the role of empowered citizens tasked with selecting their favored design for a real estate development project within their city. We provided them with access to a web-based digital design tool, enabling them to view, modify, and create various building scenarios. Ultimately, participants were asked to specify their preferred solution as the final choice, while also sharing their levels of satisfaction and confidence regarding their decision. The results of our study revealed a noteworthy willingness among non-expert participants to exercise their personal judgment in decision-making. The most satisfied and confident participants were even willing to override or disregard professional recommendations when making their choices. This research bears significant implications for the integration of technology-driven participatory design processes within the realm of transdisciplinary engineering.

We seek to accelerate the adoption of multi-objective decision making (MODM) methods within transdisciplinary engineering. To this end, we specify a generic user interface that makes computational systems models more accessible to non-technical decision makers. The collection of user stories presented in this paper allude to minimum viable features to include in the future development and testing of a generic user interface for multi-objective decision making.

“…Due to this barrier, engineers in our laboratory often make do with non-interactive simulations, even if they would prefer to deploy their work as an interactive simulation. While we do observe some bespoke instances of interactive simulation [5,6,7,8,9,10,11], or large suites of software dedicated to particular domains or simulation types [12,13,14,16,17], we generally witness those engineers building smaller, specialized simulators struggle at user interface implementation. In recent prior work, we identified the potential of a generically designed user interface that might significantly reduce the burden to engineers who wish to develop interactive simulations [1].…”

Inclusive interactive simulations are boundary objects that make it possible for engineering know-how to be placed directly into the hands of non-technical stakeholders. However, interactive simulations are also complex technologies that are difficult to implement on a bespoke basis. In order to make deployment of interactive simulations more feasible for engineers, especially those without prior background in user interface design, we created a generic, open-source simulation user interface (OpenSUI) with an associated communication schema. OpenSUI is agnostic to domains, and can communicate with any computational simulation that follows its schema. To demonstrate, we convert an existing computational simulation for real estate, FuzzyIO, into an inclusive interactive simulation using OpenSUI. We then review preliminary, qualitative feedback from non-technical users and discuss our intent for further validation through experimentation at scale.
