Abstract: Abstract Although the concept of knowledge-based design (KBD) and engineering (KBE) is discussed for more than 20 years, only little application outside of academia is documented. Existing approaches are predominantly limited to niche design activities or to aviation and automotive engineering. This fact does not originate from missing IT support or the lack of KBD functionalities in contemporary computer-aided design (CAD) systems but rather from deficiencies in education. As a study showed, in many curricula in engineering design the setup, structured exploration and management of (geometry-based) design solution spaces for configuration and optimization are yet not present. In the following article, we present our experience with the Knowledge-Based-Design-Lab which is held at the Leibniz University of Hanover for 5 years. Scope of the tutorial is shifting the traditional modeling of mostly rigid geometrical product models to automate routine design tasks and create configurable virtual prototypes.
