This article will give an overview over design process models before concentrating on the main subject: Conceptual Design, which has had less academic attention than the detail design phases. In high-tech environments specific conditions apply. This article will deal with these conditions.

Spatial skills have been shown in various longitudinal studies to be related to multiple science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) achievement and retention. The specific nature of this relation has been probed in only a few domains, and has rarely been investigated for calculus, a critical topic in preparing students for and in STEM majors and careers. We gathered data on paper-and-pen...

Conceptual design is a vital part of the design process during which designers first envision new ideas and then synthesize them into physical configurations that meet certain design specifications. In this research, a suite of computational tools is developed that assists the designers perform this non-trivial task of navigating the design space for creating conceptual design solutions. The me...

The informational states which a subject acquires through perception are non-conceptual, or non-conceptualized. Judgements based upon such states necessarily involve conceptualization: in moving from a perceptual experience to a judgement about the world (usually expressible in some verbal form), one will be exercising basic conceptual skills. But this formulation (in terms of moving from an ex...

Ontologies are a form of knowledge representation that is meant for software systems, or agents, as well as for human users. Building an ontology consists of, in short, formally specifying concepts and their relations concerning a certain knowledge domain. Such specification should convey an interpretation of the domain as agreed by experts and requires specific ontology engineering skills. In ...

Developing the capabilities of children to comprehend written texts is key to their development as young adults. Text comprehension skills develop enormously from the age of 78 until the age of 11. Nowadays, several young children (5̃% – 10% of novice readers) turn out to be poor (text) comprehenders: they demonstrate text comprehension difficulties, related to inference-making skills, despite p...
