Abstract Current supportive bio-inspired design methods focus on handcrafting the inspiration engineers use to speed up design. However promising, such are not scalable as time investment is shifted an up-front investment. Furthermore, most proposed require engineer adopt a new process. The current study presents FISh, search method based standard engineering By leveraging machine translation b...

The purpose of the current study was to identify if any significant relationships between inspiration, temperament, and positive affect existed. The dependent variable was inspiration, which was measured by the Inspiration Scale (IS). Temperament was measured by the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II and positive affect by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). One hundred forty-five stu...
