工程设计沟通是信息、知识和见解共享的主要渠道，是工程工作的基础。工程师们每天花很大一部分时间进行沟通，因为他们要“填补”正式文档和流程留下的空白。因此，关于这个问题有很多现存的文献也就不足为奇了。大多数都是描述性的，很少有涉及引入工具或过程的说明性研究。为了解决这个问题，之前的工作报告了一个支持工程设计沟通的社交媒体框架，本文通过在一个定制的社交媒体工具中实例化该框架来建立之前的工作，该工具被称为PartBook。这是在一个11周的赛车设计项目中规定的。该研究解决了支持社会媒体框架的需求验证，并调查了该工具对工程工作、工程工件和工程项目管理的影响。为此，通过用户活动、系统可用性、问卷调查、半结构化访谈和非正式反馈来获取数据。
Engineering Design Communication is the main tributary for the sharing of information, knowledge & insights, and is fundamental to engineering work. Engineers spend a significant portion of their day communicating as they ‘fill in the gaps’ left by formal documentation and processes. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that there is much extant literature on this subject. The majority has been descriptive with little prescriptive research involving the introduction of either a tool or process. To begin to address this, previous work reports a Social Media framework to support Engineering Design Communication and this paper builds upon this previous work through the instantiation of the framework within a custom-built Social Media tool hereto referred to as PartBook. This has been prescribed within an eleven week race car design project. The study addresses the validation of the requirements that underpin the Social Media framework as well as investigating the impact the tool has/may have on engineering work, engineering artefacts and engineering project management. In order to do so, data has been captured through user activity, system usability, questionnaire, semi-structured interview and informal feedback.
