BioPattern is a novel ideation tool for Bio-Inspired Design, built based on Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, SAPPhIRE Model of Causality, and pattern language. It has an ontology, known as pattern-based ontology, and a sustainability evaluation, known as Ideal Chart. However, this framework has not been tested yet to solve actual industrial problems. Therefore, this article is to present the results and analysis of the industrial case studies conducted to assess this biomimicry framework. Two different industries are selected. The industries presented a problem faced by each respective industry and the problems are to be solved by BioPattern. According to the constraints set by the industries, a suitable solution is found in the ontology while the concept generated is further evaluated by Ideal Chart. Based on the solutions produced from the case studies, BioPattern is found to be able to suggest technological solutions that are applicable in the industrial level with nature’s strategies. It can be concluded that BioPattern is able to ease ideation by providing innovative ideas and sustainable inspiration from nature.

Sample Case

This article discusses the use of problem-based learning (PBL) in the undergraduate sociology classroom. PBL shifts students from the role of passive listeners and learners to active knowledge builders and communicators through the use of concise and engaging social problem cases. PBL creates opportunities for building substantive area knowledge, research skills, and problem-solving capacities and fosters student enjoyment. This teaching note describes the key characteristics of PBL, discusses practical approaches to its use in a variety of sociology courses, and offers sample case studies. We evaluate student experiences with PBL and consider its broader applicability.
