In the context of the new era, low-carbon environmental protection has become a fashion, and the concept of low-carbon has gradually become popular. This article starts from the research direction of product design, integrates the low-carbon concept into product design, and analyzes the problems in product design in China from the four stages of production, use, storage, transportation and recycling. In order to solve these problems, the guiding methods of product design under the low-carbon concept are given from the aspects of technology, materials, structure, and recycling, further demonstrate that the low-carbon concept promotes the development of product design.

All Engineering Science students at the University of Toronto take the cornerstone Praxis Sequence of engineering design courses. In the first course in the sequence, Praxis I, students practice three types of engineering design across three distinct design projects. Previously the final design project had the students first frame and then develop conceptual design solutions for a self-identified challenge. While this project succeeded in providing an appropriate foundational design experience, it failed to fully prepare students for the more complex design experience in Praxis II. The project also failed to ingrain the need for clear and concise engineering communication, and the students’ lack of understanding of detail design inhibited their ability to make practical and realistic design decisions. A revised Product Design project in Praxis I was designed with the primary aims of: (a) pushing students beyond the conceptual design phase of the design process, and (b) simulating a real-world work environment by: (i) increasing the interdependence between student teams and (ii) increasing the students’ perceived value of engineering communication.

Configuration Methodology

Low-carbon product design involves a redesign process that requires not only structural module modification, but more importantly, generating innovative principles to solve design contradictions. Such contradictions include when current design conditions cannot satisfy design requirements or there are antithetical design goals. On the other hand, configuration tasks in the reconfiguration process are interdependent, which requires a well-scheduled arrangement to reduce feedback information. This study proposes an effective configuration methodology for low-carbon design. Firstly, configuration tasks and configuration parameters are designated through quality characteristics, and the directed network along with the associated values of configuration tasks are transformed into the design structure matrix to construct the information flow diagram. Then, the Extenics-based problem-solving model is presented to address design contradictions: low-carbon incompatibility and antithetical problems are clarified and formulated with a basic-element model; extensible and conjugate analysis tools are used to identify problematic structures and provide feasible measures; the Gantt chart of measures execution based on the information flow diagram is constructed to reduce feedback and generate robust schemes with strategy models. The methodology is applied to the vacuum pump low-carbon design, the results show that it effectively solves contradictions with innovative design schemes, and comparative analysis verifies the performance of Extenics.

Bringing the designer’s concept to the non-design expert’s communicative level requires a significant understanding of the communication media. Primarily the design communication depends on the type of the tools used. Virtual tools with their pre-set operability limit the designer’s ways of interaction with the artefacts. This article proposes a framework for designers to interact with non-design experts through an enhanced communicative media. The design framework indicates steps of design thinking to develop the interface by understanding both the virtual artefacts’ perceptual affordance to the users and the design task. The paper discusses about projects tested in three different scenarios, urban design, architecture, and product design. It concludes with the arguments on designers’ role as authors of the system design.

There are many problems about the current management mode of the scenic spots in China with the contradiction between the economic development and environmental protection as the key problem. The study on the management and control mode of the low-carbon scenic spots can alleviate the overload operation in the scenic spots to a great extent and it can help increase the economic income as well as achieve a sustainable development of the scenic spots. The straight-matrix structure constructs a horizontal and vertical management coordination platform with the information technology as the support and it enables the management information to be processed and conveyed within the organization so as to realize a win-win development of economy and environmental protection in the scenic spots.

Current product design methodologies do not typically address the creation of inclusive products (products that meet the needs of persons with and without disabilities). In this paper, empathic design principles and modular product design strategies are explored as part of a novel approach to inclusive design. The use of disability simulation as a data collection methodology both increases the safety and ease by which customer needs can be gathered and gives designers an empathic design experience with the products they develop. A disability simulation suit is designed to support empathic gathering of customer needs. The suit is subjected to validation trials to determine how accurately it mimics the physical and perceptual behaviors of persons with disabilities in users of the suit. Initial results show that the disability simulation suit provides a valid empathic design experience that yields similar customer needs and reduced dexterity as persons with disabilities.
