“…They are being taught today in different countries (e.g., France, Sweden, US, UK, Israel, Tunisia, Japan) in various contexts: engineering schools, management schools, business schools, design curricula, entrepreneurship schools, and universities. The impact of these educational practices has been reported in several studies Dym et al 2005;Hatchuel et al 2011b;Nagel et al 2016); Recent experiments based on a cognitive perspective have shown that theoretically grounded approach to teaching, significantly increases the capacity of students to resist fixation (Agogué and Cassotti 2012).…”

Design theory: a foundation of a new paradigm for design science and engineering

In recent years, the works on Design Theory (and particularly the works of the Design Theory SIG of the Design Society) have contributed to reconstruct the science of design, comparable in its structure, foundations and impact to Decision Theory, Optimization or Game Theory in their time. These works have reconstructed historical roots and the evolution of design theory, conceptualized the field at a high level of generality and uncovered theoretical foundations, in particular the logic of generativity, the "designoriented" structures of knowledge, and the logic of design spaces. These results give the academic field of engineering design an ecology of scientific objects and models, which allows for expanding the scope of engineering education and design courses. They have contributed to a paradigm shift in the organization of R&D departments, supporting the development of new methods and processes in innovation departments, and to establishing new models for development projects. Emerging from the field of engineering design, design theory development has now a growing impact in many disciplines and academic communities. The research community may play significant role in addressing contemporary challenges if it brings the insights and applicability of Design Theory to open new ways of thinking in the developing and developed world.

Ilmenau’s contributions to Design Science

Ilmenau is a relatively small town in a beautiful landscape, close to the centre of Germany. Since 1894 it has been the home of a Technical College which after World War II and through some permutations became today’s Technische Universität Ilmenau. For 70 years the university has contributed to Design Science. It is interesting to note that the fundamentals were developed in practice, at the Carl Zeiss company in Jena; it was only later that the new ideas were further developed for academic research and teaching in Ilmenau. The origins at Zeiss Jena still account for the main application area at Technische Universität Ilmenau today: Precision Engineering which, in addition to mechanical, has always included electric, electronic, control, software, and even optical components (“mechatronics” before the term was coined). This article – written by three (out of four in total) of the professors who were and are, respectively, in charge over almost 50 out of the 70 years – tells the story of Design Science in Ilmenau: background, beginnings, development, contributions to research, teaching, and transfer to industry. As Ilmenau was situated in the German Democratic Republic (“East Germany”) between 1949 and 1990, the story is not free of political and societal implications, some of them quite surprising.

“…On the other hand, the concept space consists of design concept propositions that are at least partially uncertain, i.e., the proposition has no logical status in the knowledge space. In both spaces, propositions build up and depend on each other so that the spaces expand during development as new design concepts evolve in the concept space (new design ideas) and insights are gained in the knowledge space (validated learning) (Hatchuel and Weil, 2003;Agogué and Kazakçi, 2014). (Agogué and Kazakçi, 2014) As visualized in Figure 1, the CK-Theory allows design explorations to different directions (C → C) and an advancement by logical reasoning within the knowledge space (K → K), but fosters reflection to the knowledge base (C → K) which again stimulates new design concept (K → C) propositions (Agogué and Kazakçi, 2014).…”

By exploring new grounds, the CK-Theory supports the logic of set-based design in which a set of design concepts is developed further in parallel (Sobek et al, 1999).…”

The more dynamic and unpredictable the development constraints, the more agile the development project should be to cope with and utilize inherent change. Especially in such contexts, aligning with the project's mission and vision, committing to next steps, and documenting the development path is challenging. To support the decision making process of self-organized agile development teams with an overview, a recent research paper proposes the Progress Map. The investigation at hand applies the Progress Map in semi-industrial development projects to empirically validate its applicability and performance in the form of a multi-case study. The results indicate that, given future refinements, this instrument can be valuable to plan, document, and communicate the progress of an agile development project.
