摘要：This study explored the use of heuristics in the design space by novice andexpert engineers in the initial ideation of a design solution. Verbal protocolanalyses were conducted with four engineering students and four professionalengineers as they generated ideas to solve a design problem. Overall, bothexperts and novices used various types of heuristics. Although novices’heuristics tend to focus on improving the function of the design, experts’heuristics tend to focus on improving both function and form. The implication isthat the deliberate teaching of design heuristics, along with other strategies, willhelp in the development of generative skills of students, stimulating morecreative and innovative designs. Validated design heuristics can be integratedwithin engineering design content at appropriate grade levels to aid in buildingthe repertoire of heuristics used by engineering and technology educationstudents.
