Session details: Session 1: Design-Process Oriented

The increasing design documents created in the design process provide a useful source of process-oriented design information. Hence, the need for automated design information extraction using advanced text mining techniques is increasing. However, most of the existing text mining approaches have problems in mining design information in depth, which results in low efficiency in applying the discovered information to improve the design project. With the aim of extracting process-oriented design information from design documents in depth, this paper proposes a layered text mining approach that produces a hierarchical process model which captures the process behavior at the different level of details. Our approach consists of several interrelated algorithms, namely, a content-based document clustering algorithm, a hybrid named entity recognition (NER) algorithm and a frequency-based entity relationship detection method, which have been integrated into a system architecture for extracting design information from coarse-grained views to fine-grained specifications. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms, experiments were conducted on an email archive that was collected from a real-life design project. The results showed an increase in the detection accuracy for the process-oriented information detection.

Engineering design process-oriented STEM activities are activities that involve solving a real-world problem with teamwork by using integrative engineering design and engineering applications using scientific and mathematical concepts and 21st century skills. The research aimed to examine the effects of engineering design process-oriented STEM activities, which were developed for sound concept, on the conceptual development of 6th grade students. In the research, comparative case study design was used. The study group consisted of 40 students attending a middle school in Kayseri, Turkey. The teaching was carried out by the activities in science curriculum in the control group, while it was carried out by engineering design process-oriented STEM activities in the experimental group. Each student was individually interviewed using 11 open-ended questions in a verbal format. The mean of Kappa coefficients of the questions was 0.93. As a result of content analysis, 11 categories, including 21 themes and 81 codes, were obtained. When the differences between pre- and post-interviews were examined, it was seen that conceptual understanding levels of the students in experimental group were more positive than the students in control group. This shows that engineering design process-oriented integrated STEM activities have positive effects on students’ conceptual understanding of sound.

Purpose The business engineering (BE) methodology is used to design process-oriented and customer-centred companies in a systematic and holistic way. However, BE demands a high learning effort with regard to the logical flow, instruments and supporting software. The purpose of this paper is to explore which elements of action learning are most useful regarding BE. Design/methodology/approach To enable students to learn BE, a graduate-level course based on action learning is designed. Within a one-week schedule, participants are guided through the three phases of BE covering 31 learning elements. A post-test measures the learning experience. Regression analysis identifies elements that lead to high learning performance. Findings Results from five courses with 79 students reveal that action learning is useful to obtain declarative and procedural knowledge of BE. Learning elements delivering theoretical input and the use of an exemplary case could be reduced, while more time should be devoted to group work on a self-developed case study. Research limitations/implications The paper is based on a specific course design for the topic of BE, which might limit the results’ transferability to other business process management (BPM) teaching areas. However, it provides implications about the decisive elements for learning how to design process-oriented companies. Practical implications The results can be used by instructors to design more meaningful courses on BE. Originality/value The paper delivers new insights into how issues of BPM should be taught. This area, particularly regarding BE, has received little research attention.
