Abstract

We improved a tool to support design experts and nonexpert engineers to share design knowledge. Our approach is a systematic and iterative design of a new tool variant, including high fidelity prototyping and assessment with students in real design cases. Iterative design allowed us to improve the learnability of the tool. Patterns libraries commonly are provided through relatively unstructured lists ("collections"). Tools will help engineers by making the design space (including an overview of context dependent relevance of available design patterns) explicit.
