We organized a workshop titled “Lab Experiments on Individual and Interactive Decision Making in Design” on the ASME IDETC/CIE 2017  on August 5th at Cleveland, OH. The workshop was collaboratively organized with Dr. Jitesh Panchal, Dr. Ilias Bilionis and Dr. Karthik Kanna from Purdue University. Dr. Sha presented three different lab experiments in support of understanding the designers’ behaviors under competition and their decisions-making strategies about information acquisition in engineering systems design. The papers related to research presented in this workshop can be found here and here.
