项目摘要

How do scientists and engineers discover and innovate? The creative process is often portrayed as one shrouded in mystery, and the domains of science and engineering are no exception. Imagine the stereotype of the eccentric professor, for instance, staring intently at a blackboard full of equations, who then suddenly sees the answer that had been hidden for months or even years. Or imagine a team of engineers going out for lunch to take a break from an impasse they have hit, and in the middle of casual conversation they come upon a novel approach to the problem, one that elegantly gets around the impasse. These scenarios depict the births of discoveries and innovations that, with nurturing and perseverance, can grow to have long-lasting impacts on the fields of science and engineering, and the world at large.The National Science Foundation is sponsoring a workshop centered around the creative process as it pertains to science and engineering. The workshop will bring together cognitive scientists, social psychologists, and engineers to share their research in an effort to identify some of the factors that contribute to discoveries and innovations. In doing so, the workshop will help to open up a cross-disciplinary dialog with the goal of producing useful knowledge for making investments that advance the frontiers of science and engineering.

科学家和工程师如何发现和创新？创作过程通常被描绘成一个神秘的笼罩着一个，科学和工程的领域也不例外。想象一下，例如，古怪教授的刻板印象专心盯着一个充满方程式的黑板，然后突然看到了被隐藏了数月甚至数年的答案。或者想象一支工程师团队出去吃午餐，从他们遭受的僵局中休息一下，在休闲交谈的过程中，他们采用了一种新颖的方法来解决这个问题，这种方法优雅地围绕着僵局。这些场景描述了发现和创新的诞生，通过养育和毅力，可以成长为对科学和工程领域以及整个世界的长期影响。国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）赞助了一个围绕创作过程的研讨会，因为它与科学和工程有关。研讨会将汇集认知科学家，社会心理学家和工程师分享他们的研究，以确定一些有助于发现和创新的因素。为此，研讨会将有助于开放跨学科的对话，目的是产生有用的知识，以使投资推进科学和工程的前沿。
