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要技能。设计通常从创意产生开始，通常是头脑风暴；然而，当将头脑风暴作为大学生创造力的主要载体时，它往往是不够的，因为它依赖于设计师向内寻找灵感的能力，并且它要求设计师在该领域有经验。在这个项目中，研究了三种方法，以确定它们对提高工科本科生思维能力的影响。第一种方法是TRIZ，它是一种系统的方法，用于生成看似棘手的问题的创新设计。TRIZ最初是在俄罗斯开发的，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。在这个项目中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。这三种方法或单独或结合提供给合作院校的各种设计课程的学生，并对由此产生的设计解决方案进行分析，以提高创造力。通过本研究开发的方法有可能改变本科工程设计教育。该项目的成果正在向工程教育界广泛传播，以便为在全国范围内的本科工程课程中纳入创造力提供信息。
