Chinese culture and consumer patterns are dramatically different from those in the US and Europe. That greatly impacts the types of products that are relevant to the Chinese market, the product development life cycle and methods by which these products are defined and developed for information and communication technologies (ICT). To address those unique differences, the User Centered design (UCD) research team at Intel China has developed and refined techniques for involving engineering staff in the early stages of product design, namely user research and experience design. This early involvement has many advantages and improves the overall effectiveness of the product development team. This article describes the role of the engineers in the early phases of the user centered process, and the learnings and challenges that come from this approach. Real-world case studies are used to illustrate the methodologies.

Postsecondary engineering programs seek students that are prepared, capable, diverse, and informed about the creative field known as engineering. In order to achieve these goals, it is critical that the education of 6 - 12 engineering teachers be "reengineered" to reflect the core capabilities of creativity and innovation rather than the traditional focus on discipline specific knowledge. The Education for Teaching Innovation, design, and engineering (ETIDE) program proposes a creativity and innovation-based program that utilizes design and technological literacy as the core elements for teacher preparation. The ETIDE program focuses on developing well-prepared innovation, design, and engineering teachers for 6 - 12 programs and classrooms. Current teacher preparation programs focus on project-based learning, more mathematics and science, or teaching the engineering common body of knowledge. Negligible attention is paid to the development of students' creativity and innovation capabilities. The ETIDE program organizes program content around the following courses;(1) Introduction to 3D design and modeling, (2) The designed World, (3) Systems of Technology, (4) Communications in Technology, (5) Artificial Science, (6) Control Systems, (7) Invention, Innovation, and design, (8) Industrial design, (9) Prototyping and Simulation, (10) human-Centered design, (11) Technological Research and Development, (12) Teaching Skills for design and Innovation, and (11) design and Innovation Studio.

This paper emphasized on how to construct one kind of assessment system based on the standards and specifications for cockpit ergonomic synthesis assessment, and the knowledge of the aviation experts and the experienced pilots. It analyzed the necessity of developing the assessment system, and then presented the basic principal and the function demand of the assessment system. In addition, the key technologies for developing this assessment system were discussed in detail utilizing Visual FoxPro 6.0. This assessment system transforms the assessment model and process into the computer program by the mathematical model, enables the assessment process truly to be operational, and also can reduce the assessment cycle.

Support properties in the lumbar area have been identified as a major factor for the comfort impression on automotive seats. However, the relationship of human body characteristics to specific properties of seats is not clear. Ongoing research at L&P Automotive Group analyzes seat dimensions and human body characteristics in order to evaluate the man-machine interface of the seated human. Computer tools employed are 3D measuring systems, pressure mapping and subjective comfort assessment. Specific measurement routines have been developed to allow for correlation of human dimensions and seat characteristics. Using computer supported methods for measuring, data collection and data processing in combination with engineering knowledge and knowledge about other soft facts, comfort assessment processes can be developed and effectively used in order to obtain better, meaning more comfortable products.
