Incorporating Sustainability in Electronics Design: Obstacles and Opportunities

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a methodology for holistically measuring the environmental impact of a product from initial manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. However, the extent to which LCA informs the design of computing devices remains unclear. To understand how this information is collected and applied, we int…

WasteBanned: Supporting Zero Waste Fashion Design Through Linked Edits

The commonly used cut-and-sew garment construction process, in which 2D fabric panels are cut from sheets of fabric and assembled into 3D garments, contributes to widespread textile waste in the fashion industry. There is often a significant divide between the design of the garment and the layout of the panels. One op…

Understanding and Supporting Debugging Workflows in CAD

One of the core promises of parametric Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is that users can easily edit their model at any point in time. However, due to the ambiguity of changing references to intermediate, updated geometry, parametric edits can lead to reference errors which are difficult to fix in practice. We claim tha…
