Quality criteria of transdisciplinary engineering design for dealing with wicked problems in design for sustainability and systems transitions 1Institute for Design Engineering & Drive Technology, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany; 2CIMTT Centre of Production Engineering and Management, Dresden University of Technology, Germany Transdisciplinary (TD) engineering design is a useful approach for engineers when responding to the wicked problems of sustainability and systems transitions. A research gap lies in understanding the quality criteria for TD engineering design, and in investigating to what extent existing studies in the field exhibit TD qualities. In this semi-systematic literature review we develop a framework of quality criteria for TD engineering design and then analyse relevant literature using the framework. The paper concludes methodological recommendations for future TD engineering design studies. The design of a MBSE enabled ecodesign approach: case of application at a Dutch radar system developer 1University of Twente, The Netherlands; 2Thales Nederland B.V., The Netherlands As environmental sustainability pushes organisations to integrate sustainable system design into engineering workflows, there remains a gap in translating high-level environmental objectives into actionable design practices. This research addresses the integration gap by developing a Model-Based Systems Engineering enabled ecodesign approach tailored for early-stage product design at a Dutch radar system developer. A ten-step methodology integrates carbon footprint analysis with MBSE functional data to identify architectural hotspots, enabling data-driven decisions within existing workflows. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and SysML for integrated sustainable manufacturing 1Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau, Germany; 2Technische Universität Berlin, Germany This article motivates the use of MBSE and SysML for organizational development and argues for a model-based integration of sustainable leadership (SL) into sustainable manufacturing (SM). We discuss whether modeling requirements resulting from SM and SL literature can be met by SysML and introduce an initial black box perspective and meta-model. The work is part of a larger research project aiming to transfer findings from SM and SL research into a model-based integrated SM in order to support a human-centered perspective. This work shows that SysML is suitable for organizational use cases. An MBSE approach for integrating and computing LCA impact indicators within SysML models Ruhr University Bochum, Germany Early design decisions are central to many circular economy approaches and largely determine environmental impacts. Yet LCA practice is often fragmented and difficult to integrate into engineering development processes. This paper proposes an MBSE approach that represents and computes LCA-based (LCIA) impact indicators within SysML models using reusable, configurable model elements and automated import of characterization factors. A proof-of-concept implementation demonstrates technical feasibility, illustrates process integration, and discusses limitations and future work. | ||
