A Study of Methods of Identification and Communication of User Needs to the Designer

<p> With the growth of technology there is recognition of the fact that communication requires improving between decision-makers and the people who will eventually use or be affected by the system under consideration. The main thrust of this work is to explore means of facilitating clear unambiguous communication of relevant needs to all parties involved in the design process.</p> <p> A number of approaches to this problem from different disciplines are reviewed. Some of these approaches are already in existence while others require adapting to the particular problems encountered in the design process.</p> <p> Suggestions are put foreward as to how these techniques can be integrated to produce a unified approach to the problem of producing a Total Specification embodying all information necessary to the designer in his capacity as decision-maker.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
