ABSTRACT (2008)

Daniel D. Frey, Xiang Li

A method is proposed for evaluating the effectiveness of robust parameter design methods. A hierarchical probability model is presented that enables an investigator to represent assumptions about...

Session T1A BREAKING THE ICE WITH PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: A TEAM-BASED DESIGN ACTIVITY TO INTRODUCE ACTIVE LEARNING (2007)

Daniel D. Frey, Adam Horton, Mark Somerville

Abstract ⎯ This paper discusses a short, team-based design activity that is simple to reproduce at any college. The activity involves designing and building structures from expanded polystyrene...

The Pugh Controlled Convergence Method: Model-Based Evaluation and Implications for Design Theory (2007)

Wijnia, Ype, Clausing, Don P., Herder, Paulien M., Katsikopoulos, Konstantinos, Subrahmanian, Eswaran, Frey, Daniel D.

This paper evaluates the Pugh Controlled Convergence method and its relationship to recent developments in design theory. Computer executable models are proposed simulating a team of people involved...

Adaptive One-factor-at-a-time Experimentation and Expected Value of Improvement (2006)

Daniel D. Frey, Hungjen Wang

This article concerns adaptive experimentation as a means for making improvements in design of engineering systems. A simple method for experimentation, called “adaptive one-factor-at-a-time,” is...

Engineering Design Thinking, Teaching, and Learning (2005)

Clive L. Dym, Alice M. Agogino, Daniel D. Frey, Larry J. Leifer

This paper is based on the premises that the purpose of engineering education is to graduate engineers who can design, and that design thinking is complex. The paper begins by briefly reviewing the...

Improving system reliability by failure-mode avoidance including four concept design strategies (2005)

Don Clausing, Daniel D. Frey

To be reliable, a system must be robust—it must avoid failure modes even in the presence of a broad range of conditions including harsh environments, changing operational demands, and internal...

Regularities in Data from Factorial Experiments (2005)

Xiang Li, Nandan Sudarsanam, Daniel D. Frey

This article documents a meta-analysis of 113 data sets from published factorial experiments. The study quantifies regularities observed among factor effects and multifactor interactions. Such...

Original paper A role for ‘‘one-factor-at-a-time’ ’ experimentation in parameter design (2002)

Daniel D. Frey, Fredrik Engelhardt, Edward M. Greitzer, D. D. Frey, F. Engelhardt, E. M. Greitzer

Abstract This paper explores the role of one-at-a-time experimentation in parameter design of engineering systems. The focus is on degree of improvement achieved rather than on efficiency in...
