Abstract

In this paper, we discuss about content-based design research. By means of it, we have separated four different types of thought processes, which occur during engineering design. We have used data which we have gathered during research into a large scale industrial design process, i.e., the design of the extended nip press (ENP) in paper machines. By means of interviews and documentary analyses, we have composed a picture of this complex design process. In it we have noticed that there are qualitatively different modes of thinking, which may be used to elaborate classical phase models of human thinking. We suggest that the human thought process entails such modes as apperception, restructuring, reflection and construction.
