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）设计是工程和创造力的本质，是有效设计的必要技能。设计通常始于想法产生，通常是头脑风暴。但是，当用作与本科生创造力的主要工具时，头脑风暴通常会缺乏，因为它依靠设计师的能力向内寻找灵感，并且要求设计师在该领域具有经验。在该项目中，正在研究三种方法，以确定它们对改善本科生的想法表现的影响。第一种方法是Triz，这是一种用于产生看似棘手问题的创新设计的系统方法。特里斯（Triz）最初是在俄罗斯开发的，是基于对数千项专利的分析，这些专利说明了各种学科的众多解决方案模式。在此项目中探索的第二种构想方法是徒手素描，第三种方法是启用技术的设计日记。为合作机构的各种面向设计课程的学生提供了这三种方法，无论是单独或合并的方法，正在分析生成的设计解决方案以创造性。通过这项研究开发的方法有可能改变本科工程设计教育。该项目的结果广泛传播到工程教育社区，以告知全国本科工程课程之间的创造力。
