A knowledge-based computer environment that supports the concurrent engineering of small electromechanical appliances such as kitchen appliances and lighting is described. The environment integrates and provides active assistance for the following engineering activities: specification acquisition, conceptual design and redesign, and qualitative simulation. The design environment is examined by reviewing the steps in a redesign sequence that transforms a manual juicer into an electric juicer.
