Jablokow, K. W. (Principal Investigator), Grant, "Mapping the High Performance Design Team 'Genome'," National Science Foundation, Federal Agencies. Total awarded: $300,000.00. (Funded: August 2016 – July 2018).
Abstract: In this collaborative project (PSU-Stanford), we are observing engineering design teams from industry to develop a new integrated model of High Performance Design Teams (HPDTs) based on three frameworks: Interaction Dynamics, Adaption-Innovation Theory, and the Engineering Innovativeness model (developed by K. Jablokow in previous NSF-funded research). The behavioral interactions and individual cognitive characteristics of the team members will be assessed, along with the products of team design sessions. The individual characteristics of the team members and their behavioral interactions will be mapped in relation to their performance in terms of innovative design to identify the behavioral building blocks of High Performance Design Teams.
Jablokow, K. W. (Principal Investigator), Grant, "Investigating Impacts on the Ideation Flexibility of Engineers," National Science Foundation, Federal Agencies. Total awarded: $702,199.00. (Funded: May 2013 - April 2017).
Abstract: This on-going collaborative project (PSU-Michigan-Iowa State-Rutgers) combines study of the design process with cognitive diversity. We are characterizing the ideation of students using existing and new metrics, with cognitive style as a mediating variable. We have designed three interventions aimed at increasing an individual’s range of ideation along the style spectrum from more adaptive to more innovative: problem framing, design heuristics, and cognitive style-based teaming. We are investigating the effects of these interventions across multiple age groups (high school to graduate level), multiple domains (engineering and design programs), and multiple institutions (PSU-UM-ISU). We have developed 3 tools (the Ideation Flexibility Trio) that educators and practitioners can use to implement these interventions in engineering and design classrooms and in design practice based on individual and project needs. These tools are currently being validated in both academic and corporate settings.
