Politicians and engineers are increasingly realizing that values important in the development of technological artefacts. What is often overlooked different conceptualizations these abstract lead to design-requirements. For example, designing social media platforms for deliberative democracy sets us up technical work on completely types architectures mechanisms than so-called liquid or direct f...

Contribution: This article defines “curricular hackathons” and describes the features, challenges, opportunities of adopting hackathon format into engineering curricula. It is based on experience implementing a series curricular hackathons which provide students with formative design experience...

Usability engineering for products is an increasing sales argument for industrial and consumer products. Products and services are designed for target-group adequate usability. But usability is no single-value concept. In contrast, EN ISO 9241 points out that it is influenced by several moderators, e.g., efficiency, context of use and others. Although standardized questionnaires have been devel...

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...

Systems Engineering is a tried and tested methodological approach to design and test new products. It acts as a model based engineering approach and promotes for this purpose a set of standardized collaborative processes, modelling languages and frameworks. The systems engineering processes imply many interactions and exchanges between resources. Nevertheless, currently there is no method guidi...
