Highlights•We address four key challenges to co-evolution: scale, context, direction,
emergence.•We propose a next generation theory in the cognitive co-evolution model.•Our …

One of the most influential descriptions of design activity emphasizes how problems and
solutions “co-evolve.” This concept has somehow escaped critical review and cross …

Descriptions of problem-solution “co-evolution” either explicitly or implicitly draw an analogy
between processes of design and processes of biological evolution. Analogies of this kind …

Design decisions occur in all phases of product design and largely affect the merits of the
final solution, which will ultimately determine the success or failure of the product in the …

The proliferation of high-immersion technologies might change the way virtual prototypes
are used in the design process. This paper investigates the effect of immersion on reviews …

Co-evolution accounts have generally been used to describe how problems and solutions
both change during the design process. More generally, problems and solutions can be …

Featured Application Model-Based Systems Engineering is an edX Professional Certificate
Program comprised of two five-week courses that teach principles and applications of model …

Large language model (LLM) and Crowd Intelligent Innovation (CII) are reshaping the field
of engineering design and becoming a new design context. Generative generic-field design …

When observing a design space expansion during teamwork, several studies found that
cumulative solution-related issues' occurrence follows a linear trend. Such findings …

Understanding team diversity has become essential for modern-day organisations. This
study explores the impact of knowledge diversity in design teams through computational …
