Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of multi-disciplinary collaboration in New Product Development (NPD). As such, interactions between industrial designers and engineering designers have become increasingly important. This research project aims to build a shared understanding between the 2 disciplines during NPD. Following empirical research that revealed collaboration-related problem areas, as well as collecting data concerning the use of design representations, a card system was developed to provide information on the role and significance of design representations, leading to joint understanding, improved communication and creation of shared knowledge. When asked in the validation study if the system would foster collaboration, 68.2% of industrial designers and 63.2% of the engineering designers gave a good and excellent rating, indicating that the system could play a significant role towards the support of multidisciplinary teamwork. Despite the importance of inter-disciplinary collaboration, few studies have examined the relationship between industrial design and engineering design.For this study, industrial design encompasses the specification of product form including aesthetic judgement, semantics, user interface and social requirements (IDSA, 2006;Tovey, 1994;Flurscheim, 1983). In contrast, the term engineering design broadly encompasses mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering (Fielden, 1963), all of which employ science-based problem solving methods (Hurst, 1999 Previous research has mainly focused on inter-disciplinary collaboration between engineering design and manufacturing (Beskow, 1997;Ulrich and Eppinger, 2000) and engineering with marketing (Griffin and Hauser, 1996;Shaw and Shaw, 1998). With the exception of Persson and Warell (2003) Standardising the Use of Design RepresentationsDesign representations can be expressed through language, graphic or artefacts (Goel 1995; Goldschmidt, 1997) and they refer to models of the 6 object being symbolised (Palmer, 1987 (Goldschmidt, 1992). In comparing the differences between representations favoured by the 2 disciplines, Veveris (1994) observed that engineering designers used models associated with engineering principles, functional mechanisms, production issues; whereas industrial designers applied representations related to appearance and usability. Despite the various attempts to classify representations by other authors (Tjalve et al. 1979;Ullman, 1988;Tovey, 1989;Evans, 1992;Ferguson, 1992;Goldschmidt, 1992;Veveris, 1994;Kavakli et al., 1998; 7 Cross, 1999;Do et al., 2000;Otto and Wood, 2001;Cain, 2005 Although ambiguous representations possess benefits, their ill-defined nature makes it difficult for engineering designers to comprehend and recognise how they work in relation to a product's technical parameters (Saddler, 2001). It may be difficult for a viewer other than the originator to understand the embodied meaning, context or scale (McGown, et al., 1998). The need for accurate and effective representat...

“…In virtue of distinctive advantages of sketch as follows: 1) the simplicity of its way and equipment, 2) the speed, 3) the easiness to catch ideas, etc., sketch has been widely used for creative works-"the designer's principal means of thinking [11]", "The act of sketching has long been embraced by architects as a versatile tool for exploratory design [23]". In real product styling, the practical uses of sketch are as follows: 1) the concept description with texts, 2) the shape description with color, texture, and shading effects, 3) the layout description with a scale, and 4) the final product description with full details.…”

Abstract. The digitalization of product-styling tools for the early designdevelopment stage has focused on using raster-type graphics S/Ws. These kinds of S/Ws enable designers freely to generate ideas, and enhance them based on their creativity and aesthetic senses. However, resultants from raster-type tools are no more than images, which are hardly converted to digital forms required by downstream processes. Thus, it still remains as an obstacle for both designers and engineers to work harmoniously and simultaneously in the new-product development process through concurrent engineering. This paper proposes a new digitalstyling tool for designers by emulating a design sketch. The research process is summarized as: 1) observing designers' sketch behaviors and their works, 2) analyzing designers' sketch behavior patterns for extracting sketch elements, and 3) mapping them to digital forms. The proposed digital-sketch method not only allows designers to perform their creative work, but also provides digital connectivity for concurrent engineering.

“…The design critic typically spends time sketching at the desk of a student, drawing in a manner that isolates and argues for a formal structure critical to the development of a design. In this manner knowledge about form is demonstrated and communicated (Fraiser 1994, Herbert 1993). …”
