设计是一项人类活动，包括一系列广泛的任务。在工程设计中，个人的努力可以聚合到团队中，以最大限度地实现集体进步。然而，有效的团队合作需要广泛的管理、组织和沟通。此外，现代挑战包括复杂的多学科问题，具有更快的进度、更少的资源和更大的需求。设计，作为一个过程，可以被分成几个有特色的阶段。在每个阶段，设计解决方案都是逐步开发出来的。技术工具优先考虑了详细和最终设计阶段的结构分析，并已证明是有效设计工作的强大倍增器。然而，长期以来的情况是，对无形资源的重大承诺是由于较不重视的较不重要阶段的努力而作出的。这些承诺和缺乏用于需求开发和概念性设计活动的现代工具集，在工业和学生设计项目中都是设计陷阱的主要来源。本文提出了一个工程设计学习的数字生态系统，作为一个全面的，但灵活的，为顶层设计团队的框架。数字生态系统已被开发为一种可行的技术，以加强学生的信息管理、团队合作、沟通和对基本设计原则的熟练程度，并作为一种能够减少返工和与流程相关的生产力中断的技术。对于Capstone应用程序，它的主要创新是能够根据设计过程和教唆合规的学习目标自动评估设计工作，并在出现设计疏忽的情况下提供及时建议。数字生态系统被比作项目管理、团队沟通和需求管理的工具。
Design is a human activity that encompasses a broad array of tasks. In engineering design, individual efforts can beaggregated into teams to maximize collective progress. Effective teamwork, however, requires extensive management,organization and communication. Furthermore, modern challenges encompass complicated multi-disciplinary problemswith faster schedules, fewer resources, and greater demands. Design, as a process, can be dissected into characteristicphases. Within each phase, design solutions are gradually developed. Technological tools have prioritized the structuredanalyses of the detailed and final design phases and have proven to be powerful multipliers for effective design efforts. It haslong been the case, however, that major commitments of intangible resources are made as a result of efforts in the lessemphasizedearlierphases. These commitments and lack of modern toolsets for requirement development and conceptualdesign activities materialize as major sources of design pitfalls, both in industry and on student design projects. This paperpresents a digital Ecosystem for Engineering Design Learning as a comprehensive, yet flexible, framework for capstonedesign teams. The digital Ecosystem has been developed as a feasible technology to bolster student informationmanagement, teamwork, communication, and proficiency in fundamental design principles, and as a technology capableof alleviating rework and process-related productivity interruptions. Its primary innovation, for capstone applications, isthe ability to assess design work automatically against the design process, as well as against ABET compliant learningobjectives, and provide prompt advisories in case of design oversights. The digital Ecosystem is compared to tools forproject management, team communication, and requirement management.
