Understanding Needs in Eco-Design Learning for Novice Designers

摘要: The paper explores how engineering students approach eco-design as novices to the topic. Only few observational studies focus on novice practice, whilst it is a classical topic in traditional design research. This gap addressed by an study of six multidisciplinary groups European students. task consists environmental performance improvement vacuum cleaner. Two viewpoints are introduced and compared: life-cycle stakeholder perspective. Main results show that (1) tend start searching for solutions whatever method; (2) framing easier with viewpoint than life cycle one.
