Abstract

Although biomimetic is a good source of ideas for designs, it is not widely used. This is due to lack of systematic process for engineers to find biological analogies related to the design problems and the transferring knowledge of biological designs to engineering problems. Besides that, the information is scattered as some design engineer are aware of some individual achievements of biomimetic, also in some cases are just based on incidental observations and reports. The objective of this project is to find a suitable strategy to integrate biomimetic into product development, collecting scattered information about biomemetic and upload the information into Microsoft Office Access to create a database program. The information of biomimetic features are input into table, query, form and report in order to build relationship among these objects. There are a few testing and refinement of the database. Later, a questionnaire survey is carried out on 35 respondents to test the functionality and satisfaction of the respondents. From the survey result, the majority of the respondents are satisfied with the database program. However, there are comments about the layout and user-interface needs to be improved. Besides that, more biomimetic features and information about biomimetic need to be added and uploaded into the database.
