The goal of this study is to explore the nature of creative problem-solving and to develop a prototype software package to assist in innovative design. A designer faces problems which may be characterized by three dimensions: domain, difficulty, and effort. The domain refers to the area of application; the difficulty pertains to the level of conceptual challenge requir- ed; and the effort specifies the magnitude of work required to implement a solution. This project will explore the nature of difficult problems within various domains of engineering, as well as examining techniques for addressing them.

本研究的目的是探索创造性问题解决的本质，并开发一个原型软件包来辅助创新设计。设计师面临的问题可以概括为三个方面：领域、难度和努力。这一领域指的是应用领域；难度与所需的概念挑战的程度有关；而努力则规定了实施解决方案所需的工作量。这个项目将探索工程学各个领域中困难问题的性质，以及研究解决这些问题的技术。
