In 1984, Nam Sub, who was then the Assistant Director for
Engineering at the National Science Foundation (NSF), created the
Design Theory and Methodology Program. Among his goals in creating
this program were to develop a science of engineering design and to
establish design as an accepted field of engineering research. From
1984 to 1986 this program was directed by Susan Finger; from 1986
to the present Jack Dixon has been the director. The program itself
has covered a broad range of disciplines, from chemical engineering
to architecture, and a broad range of research paradigms, from
psychological experiments to mathematical models. The present
volume is based on the second NSF Grantee Workshop on Design Theory
and Methodology, called Design Theory '88, which was held June 2-5,
1988 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, USA. It is,
however, not strictly a proceedings since it includes some material
that was not presented at a the Workshop and since it omits some
papers and discussions that were presented at the Workshop. At the
Workshop, invited speakers presented overviews of six different
research areas based on summaries submitted in advance by the
grantees of the Design Theory and Methodology Program. Since most
of the speakers were not supported under the NSF program they
brought fresh views to it. The other papers in this book were
submitted directly to this volume and were not presented at the
Workshop.
