Abstract

Axiomatic Design helps a designer to make good design decisions. However, this addresses only one part of design. Prior to selecting a proposed design, the designer must synthesize options for further consideration. Within engineering design, creativity and expertise have been left to the competency of the designer and called the “art of engineering design”. To achieve a truly creative design process that addresses both analysis and synthesis, methods based on theories from Cognitive Psychology must be included. The resulting Creative Axiomatic Design process addresses both synthesis and analysis, enhancing creativity and expertise to inspire innovation and alternative perspectives on the design problem.
