Engineering - Other (59)Design is the essence of engineering and creativity is a requisite skill for effective design. Design often begins with idea generation, typically brainstorming; however, brainstorming often falls short when used as the main vehicle for creativity with undergraduate students because it relies on the designers' abilities to look inward for inspiration and it requires designers to have experience in the field. In this project, three methods are being examined to determine their impact on improving the ideation performance of undergraduate engineering students. The first method is TRIZ, which is a systematic approach for the generation of innovative designs to seemingly intractable problems. TRIZ was first developed in Russia and is based on the analysis of thousands of patents that illustrate numerous solution patterns from diverse disciplines. The second method of ideation being explored in this project is freehand sketching and the third method is technology-enabled design journaling. These three methods are being provided, either alone or in combination, to students in various design-oriented courses at the partnering institutions and the resulting design solutions are being analyzed for creativity. The methods developed through this research have the potential to transform undergraduate engineering design education. Results from the project are being broadly disseminated to the engineering education community to inform the inclusion of creativity among undergraduate engineering curricula across the country.

工程 - 其他 (59) 设计是工程的本质，创造力是有效设计的必备技能。设计通常从想法产生开始，通常是头脑风暴；然而，头脑风暴作为本科生创造力的主要手段时往往存在不足，因为它依赖于设计师向内寻找灵感的能力，并且需要设计师拥有该领域的经验。在该项目中，正在研究三种方法，以确定它们对提高工程本科生的创意表现的影响。第一种方法是 TRIZ，这是一种针对看似棘手的问题生成创新设计的系统方法。 TRIZ 最初在俄罗斯开发，基于对数千项专利的分析，这些专利说明了来自不同学科的众多解决方案模式。该项目探索的第二种构思方法是手绘草图，第三种方法是技术支持的设计日志。这三种方法单独或组合地提供给合作机构的各种设计导向课程的学生，并对由此产生的设计解决方案进行创造力分析。通过这项研究开发的方法有可能改变本科工程设计教育。该项目的结果正在广泛传播给工程教育界，以告知将创造力纳入全国本科工程课程。
