The objective of this paper is to test the hypothesis that immersive virtual reality
environments such as those achievable through the head-mounted displays, enhance task …

Quantifying the ability of a digital design concept to perform a function currently requires the
use of costly and intensive solutions such as computational fluid dynamics. To mitigate these …

Digital learning refers to the use of technology platforms to facilitate one's engagement in
concepts and activities during the learning process. Hands-on learning, on the other hand …

Traditionally, the complexities and costs associated with design conceptualization (eg, 3D
scanning) and design realization (eg, 3D printing) have limited the diversity of individuals …

This work hypothesizes that enhancing next generation products' distinctiveness through
function-form synthesis results in feasible design concepts for designers. A data mining …

With design teams becoming more distributed, the sharing and interpreting of complex data
about design concepts/prototypes and environments have become increasingly challenging …

New generations of students face new challenges in learning, many students are being left
behind by old educational systems and common teaching methodologies. This study intends …

Co-robots are robots that work alongside their human counterparts towards the successful
completion of a task or set of tasks. In the context of engineering education, co-robots have …

Augmented reality (AR) can be used to present holographic visual displays of objects and
information that are overlaid in a user's real-world field of view. A mixed-methods …

This paper is based on the design and fabrication of a 3D scanner that uses low-cost
hardware and open-source software where the cost of hardware is reduced significantly …
