students with team work andrealistic design experience, it is imperative that both the concept of realization and the productdevelopment process be well understood when designing or teaching these courses.In most engineering settings the boundaries between design, problem solving, and research are notdefined due to overlap and interconnectedness between all three activities. In capstone design courses, itis imperative to understand the nature of the three activities, and when a transition from one to anotherhas occurred. In this paper, an expanded concept of realization is presented to identify the roles andtransitions of the three activities. Also to improve the realization experience, in capstone design courses,the product design and development

A large part of an architect’s design educationis based upon analysis of existing buildings, complexes of buildings, or layouts of large spaces inworking to develop an understanding of the design drivers, key design decisions, and theresulting success of the design in meeting the needs of the multiple stakeholders. Retrospectiveanalysis has not been widely used in engineering, yet it provides a sound pedagogic approach tounderstand the design of complex systems involving technical, social, and lifecycle features.Small student teams select an aircraft from a list offered by the faculty, and several structuralelements for the semester long case study help their execution.

The applicability of engineering design principles tonatural systems has been well recognized, but ambitious attempts to further reverse engineersuch complex systems will require the latest advances in design thinking. The recent concept ofdesign affordance readily lends itself to the analysis and understanding of complex naturalsystems that exhibit multiple interactions between subsystems.Traditionally, reverse engineering has been based on the analysis of decomposing engineeredsystems into functional components.

communication [1]. Theconcept generation phase is the time to bring problem understanding, social factors andpractical knowledge together to develop possible solutions [2]. The quality and quantity ofconcepts generated in this phase affect and even determine the outcomes of the final designsolution [3], [4]. Prior research demonstrates that numerous concept generation techniquescan be used to facilitate engineers to increase creativity and generate more design alternatives[3], [5], [6]. Therefore, understanding concept generation and its techniques has importancefor engineering education and the design industry.There are two broad categories to classify concept generation techniques: unstructured designmethods and structured design methods [7], [8], [9
