| Abstract | Rapid economic and technological changes make the future increasingly unpredictable in the current society. Consequently, an urgent need exists to cultivate human resources capable of making significant contributions, particularly in education, where design education programs play a crucial role. In engineering design, “ambidextrous thinking” has also garnered significant attention. This study has two main objectives: (1) To develop a new evaluation method and provide guidelines for future studies by performing large language model (LLM)-based evaluations of prototyping, specifically along the axes of exploration and exploitation. (2) To quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the impact of design education on engineering. This study evaluates 31 product redesigns by third-year students enrolled in the Design Engineering course at Kogakuin University. In the LLM-based evaluation of “exploitation,” 70% of the top 10 proposals suggested by ChatGPT received the highest rating from the class instructor. In addition, in the “exploration” evaluation, incorporating the concept of “darkness” into the existing definition revealed the potential for a more effective evaluation of prototypes. |
