PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the current practices of the early facilities management (FM) involvement during the design development and review stages (DDRS), and recommend activities aimed at achieving better integration.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review was conducted to ascertain the challenges faced by the integrated design team (IDT) in the absence of the facilities managers’ review of design solutions, and underscore the significance of the early involvement of facilities managers during the DDRS. A questionnaire survey was then developed for collecting data on eight aspects of the current practices of early FM involvement during the DDRS. The questionnaire survey was administered to the FM departments of 13 long established, public universities in Saudi Arabia. Ten responses were obtained and analyzed.FindingsThe findings suggest that the early involvement of the FM department enhances the operation and maintenance of facilities. This has been measured through reductions in the number of architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning defects.Practical implicationsRecommendations were provided to facilitate the process of integrating the practices of two influential stakeholders of building projects. These recommendations encompass the need for maintainability considerations at the early schematic stage, the necessity of direct contact between the two parties and the necessity of facility managers’ increased familiarity of the design stage activities, among other recommendations. In this way, the study promotes the awareness of the significance of integrating FM with the IDT at the DDRS.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature and practice by presenting a detailed analysis of the integration process between the FM department and the IDT. Furthermore, the outcomes of the integration between the parties were measured to assess the effectiveness of the collaboration and highlight the possible areas of improvement.

New technologies and complex systems are being developed in commercial aviation to meet strict requirements regarding fuel consumption, emissions and noise constraints. This motivates the development of multidisciplinary environments to efficiently manage the increasing complexity of the design process. Under the Clean Sky 2 initiative, the ModellIng and Simulation tools for Systems IntegratiON on Aircraft (MISSION) project aims to develop an integrated framework to holistically support the aircraft design, development and validation processes. Within the MISSION framework, this paper proposes a methodology to handle the integration between the aircraft level and the system level in the early phase of aircraft design. The methodology is demonstrated for the case of the Landing Gear System in the rejected take-off scenario.

Abstract The LACMTA HR4000 heavy rail vehicle was designed to meet the ASME RT-2 Safety Standard for Structural Requirements for Heavy Rail Transit Vehicles. The crash energy management (CEM) structures designed for this vehicle also provide unique performance characteristics through use of a staged combination of CEM technologies. The resulting design, using easily replaceable components, provides reduced repair costs for lower speed collisions, minimizes the number of cars damaged during a collision, while exceeding the RT-2 standard for safety to the operator. None of the CEM technologies used are novel, but their integrated design provides a unique performance in heavy rail vehicle design. This paper provides an overview of the CEM design development. First, a general description of the CEM system function is provided, including the various CEM technologies used and how they interact during a collision. Then the 1-dimensional and 3-dimensional nonlinear dynamic models developed for optimizing the design are discussed. The CEM test program performed to demonstrate the system function and validate the modeling is described. Finally, the performance of the CEM system in train-to-train collision analyses is presented. Underframe testing was conducted for validation of the simulations.

And Control

Mechatronic systems are electromechanical systems where an integrated design procedure is used with respect to mechanical and electrical aspects. These systems possess computational intelligence with capabilities such as perception, learning, reasoning, and making inferences (or, decisions) from incomplete information. Concepts of sensing and information acquisition are crucial for mechatronic systems in all stages of design, development, testing, operation, and maintenance. This paper outlines the considerations of sensing and information acquisition for intelligent mechatronic systems. A typical mechatronic system operates as a self-contained unit and involves direct information acquisition. There are situations, however, where a group of mechatronic systems have to operate in a coordinated manner, as in a mechatronic workcell. Also it may be necessary to monitor a mechatronic system remotely and to share common resources between several applications. Networked control is needed then. This issue is also addressed in the paper. Several industrial applications of intelligent mechatronics have been developed in our Industrial Automation Laboratory. Some of them involve cutting, inspection, and grading of fish products. The paper presents a representative application, by highlighting information acquisition and the integration of sensing and control.

Educational design is the intellectual foundation and creative source of innovation in creative appeal to professional development of prospective engineers. The author shows that its necessary to train engineers in conditions of educational design development of prospective engineers on the basis of fundamental (theoretical) knowledge transformation into the field of practical skills and skills of design activity in interdisciplinary fields of engineering knowledge. The paper also considers evolution of the project technologies. The work presents the main conceptual provisions for the effective practical implementation of the development of design for prospective engineers training, formulated on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the experience of research projects in Russian universities. The feasibility of basing the methodology of project training on information technologies, interdisciplinary approach and integrated design is justified. The use of a personalized educational information environment for training is recommended. The author shows that it is important for different-year-students who are supposed to be like-minded people to communicate and to participate in the project. Motivation of students participation in project activities is also very important as well as involvement of employers in discussion/implementation of the obtained results. These solutions are of a research nature and can be used in other similar Russian and foreign projects, as well as be implemented in the creation of personalized e-learning systems and online courses in the dynamics of educational design development.

Application Design

Mobile Learning (M-Learning) has added a new dimension to the traditional system of education. The importance of M-Learning has been acknowledged by industrialized countries and therefore these countries have implemented it in the educational institutions. The Software developer, Software analyst, and Software test engineer face challenges in requirements elicitation, design, development, testing, and deployment of M-Learning application. It’s because the Software engineering domain of M-Learning has not yet attended maturity. The design and development of M-Learning application is still a challenge. This study explores and analyses existing approaches in the design phase of M-Learning application development, reports the limitations, and propose a new solution. M-Learning has two basic components: pedagogy and software application (application). M-Learning pedagogy describes learning content in terms of instructional and learning design while software application provides platform for accessibility of learning content. The integration of these two components while designing, development, and testing play crucial role in the successful implementation of M-Learning. However, review of the existing literature has revealed lack of integrated approach for designing M-Learning pedagogy and application. There are researchers who have proposed design approaches for M-Learning pedagogy and application however separately. The significance of these approaches cannot be ignored but M-Learning application design and development suffers from compatibility issues, lack of design and testing mechanisms, identified stakeholders and their roles, lack of defined step and procedures. Therefore, this article presents an integrated design model for M-Learning pedagogy and application. The proposed model consists of pedagogy, application, and testing as important components. The application design is concerned with architectural level, high level, and detailed design. The pedagogical design is related to instruction and learning content. The test case design is concerned with formulation of conditions for testing the pedagogy and application. The proposed integrated design model has been compared with the existing approaches and ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and ISO/IEC 19796-1 standards. Also, the model has been reviewed by IT experts. The outcome is positive in both the cases.
