This program of research is aimed at gaining a general understanding of the design process, developing new forms of computer tools and methods for designers, and implementing and evaluating these tools in a realistic design environment. The research will be carried out by an interdisciplinary design team of faculty associated with the Exploratory Design Laboratory (EDL). The research will focus on three areas: 1) computer tools for aiding design problem formulation, 2) adaptation of analysis tools to design tools, and 3) methods and computer tools for rapid prototyping. The result of this research will be computer-based aids to designers in each of these three areas as well as a continuing improvement in understanding and implementation of modern design methods. These aids and methods will be tested in a structured graduate educational program. In the EDL, students have proven to be an excellent resource for trying out new ideas, for getting useful feedback, and for propagating successful ideas. Through the use of guides, software, and remote access to implementation servers, the research results will be rapidly disseminated into research and educational communities.

该研究项目旨在获得对设计过程的一般理解，为设计师开发新形式的计算机工具和方法，并在现实的设计环境中实施和评估这些工具。该研究将由与探索性设计实验室（EDL）相关的教师组成的跨学科设计团队进行。研究将集中在三个领域：1)辅助设计问题表述的计算机工具；2)分析工具对设计工具的适应；3)快速原型设计的方法和计算机工具。这项研究的结果将是在这三个领域为设计师提供基于计算机的辅助，以及在理解和实施现代设计方法方面的持续改进。这些辅助工具和方法将在一个结构化的研究生教育项目中进行测试。在EDL中，学生已被证明是尝试新想法、获得有用反馈和传播成功想法的绝佳资源。通过使用指南、软件和远程访问实施服务器，研究结果将迅速传播到研究和教育界。
