Abstract
Recent studies suggest that designers rely heavily on their memory and experience when tackling design tasks. However, how they apply their experience and knowledge is not understood and further research in this area is required. In addition, the aerospace industry, along with other industries, has recognised the need to capture ‘experience’. In order to capture experience, the nature and use of design experience within the aerospace industry needs to be more clearly understood.
This paper describes the results of a study of novice and experienced designers undertaken in the aerospace industry; the research approach and research issues; a method of support for novices designers; the preliminary evaluation of the method; and the trial implementation of the method in the aerospace industry.
