Bio-inspired design is an approach for developing innovative technical solutions. A strategy to overcome the knowledge gap between the disciplines biology and engineering is collaboration between engineers and biologists. In this thesis, design experiments were conducted to understand the influences of collaboration between biologists and engineers in an ideation workshop. Moreover, BioID was developed - a support for this bi-disciplinary collaboration. The results show a positive influence of collaboration and the BioID support on the quality and uniqueness of solution ideas.
