This is a review paper of the field of research in expertise in design. There has been a
growth of empirical and formalised study of designer behaviour, and this paper focuses …

Recent research suggests that drawing activities can help students learn concepts in the
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In particular …

Design thinking is generally defined as an analytic and creative process that engages a
person in opportunities to experiment, create and prototype models, gather feedback, and …

Abstract Design and design thinking are vital to creativity and innovation, and have become
increasingly important in the current movement of develo** and implementing integrated …

In this paper we report on an in‐depth study of engineering design processes. Specifically,
we extend our previous research on engineering student design processes to compare the …

In this paper we question whether sketching is essential for conceptual designing. In order to
test this hypothesis, we conducted think-aloud experiments with expert architects. They were …

This paper reports findings from the first systematic review of protocol studies focusing
specifically on conceptual design cognition, aiming to answer the following research …

Understanding how designers think is core to advancing design methods, tools, and
outcomes. Engineering researchers have effectively turned to cognitive science approaches …

Research has shown that cognition often relies on simplified heuristics; however, few
studies have explored the role of heuristics in design. We propose that designers utilize …

Defining and structuring wicked design problems has a major influence on subsequent
problem solving, and demands a considerable level of skill. Previous research on mental …
