The concept-knowledge theory or C-K design theory explains that creativity is the conceptualization of design that is independent of any other design domain. It explains innovation, creation, and discovery within the framework of design processes. Creativity is an integral part of engineering design. The QFD methodology is applied to construct the “engineering design and creativity course” at the faculty of engineering as per the various stakeholders of curriculum design. The suggested methodology satisfies accreditation requirements as a part of continuous improvement of curriculum. The QFD course design methodology integrates the learning outcome with the assessment methodologies, learning processes and knowledge elements well. The course is a strategic fit with the vision 2030 and curriculum. The course development methodology as suggested minimize learning deficiencies. It is measured by course mapping with learning outcome.

Abstract Our aim in this paper is to examine the study of design theory and methodology (DTM) in the field of mechanical engineering design and to assess its impact. Rather than review the work of a growing number of individual researchers essential research themes have been distilled by an analysis of the conference papers in the area and through a survey of the research and practicing community. On the basis of the survey some commonly understood goals and products of the DTM research community are identified. We seek to understand the extent to which the goals of the research community been met and whether the products have benefited the customers. To maintain continuity and some perspective this commentary builds upon past reviews.

Function-based design is the traditional approach in engineering design theory, proving useful and practical in many cases but showing limitations in others. Affordance-based design is an alternative approach that attempts to address some of function theory’s limitations by focusing attention on the interactions between systems. This paper compares function-based design with affordance-based design by examining their philosophies, tools, abilities, and suitability along a number of dimensions. We conclude that the approaches are compatible and suggest future work to realize their integration.
