Most people see the world of engineering as a discipline consisting solely of physics and math that offers very little room for creativity. The Creative Engineer explores the missing element in engineering: a focus on creativity. The importance of creativity in STEM fields and the ability to think and design with artistic innovation is a vital skill to be taught and practiced within engineering and manufacturing disciplines in order to stop hindering us from expansive progress. With extensive access to information today, we have the ability to think outside of the box, take risks, learn from our surroundings, and become more inventive and solution-driven than ever before. However, we have to understand math and science are not the only pillars upon which engineering and design should be based. In The Creative Engineer, Yang shares stories of individuals from around the world looking to nature and unconventional influences for inspiration in design. In doing so, we read the effects of freedom on the confines of science and math in traditional classrooms. People such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Burt Rutan have taken the world by storm as creative individuals whose work and mindset can be expanded to the engineering world.

Creative Design Engineering: Introduction to an Interdisciplinary Approach presents the latest information on a field that has traditionally been primarily concerned with how to make things. However, as technology has advanced, and we have no shortage of things, a new challenge for today's engineers is what to make. In tackling this, our approaches to engineering design have come under the spotlight. This book presents solutions to this topic in different sections that highlight the basic concerns associated with innovation. First, design is considered a kind of universal human act. Second, it is an interdisciplinary approach that brings together perspectives from fields such as cognitive science and science of knowledge is adopted. Third, the scope of the discussion also includes the process of creating an initial idea for a new product (called the pre-design phase), as well as the use of the product in society (the post-design phase). Design engineers and researchers in engineering design will find this a user-friendly route to understanding the importance of creativity to engineering and how to implement new techniques to improve design outcomes. The book has been translated from the original Japanese book titled Sozo Dezain Kogaku [Creative Design Engineering] (published by the University of Tokyo Press 2014). - Draws on research in industrial design, art, and cognitive science to present a concept of creativity which breaks free of traditional engineering thinking - Deconstructs design as a human activity to increase our understanding, helping us create outstanding engineering projects and systems - Includes discussion points to help the reader not only explore the concepts in the book, but also apply them to their own design contexts

Inventive Engineering is an emerging engineering science focused on the conceptual designing processes whereby creative, or inventive, designs are developed. Its core concepts are too often unknown and even surprising, but they are also feasible and can be learned, leading to potentially patentable designs. Inventive engineers have a tremendou

The Creative Engineering Design Assessment or CEDA is a newly developed tool to assess creativity specific to engineering design which is vital for innovation. The revised CEDA assesses usefulness in addition to originality. Both originality and usefulness are key constructs in creativity but are primarily essential and emphasized ever more in engineering design. Since the preliminary research was presented to the National Science Foundation, further reliability and validity has been developed and established. The CEDA is different from other general creativity measures as it demonstrates discriminant validity with the Creative Personality Scale, Creative Temperament Scale, and the Cognitive Risk Tolerance Scale, and has demonstrated convergent validity with the Purdue Creativity Test and the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test- Rotations. It focuses on engineering specific measures, measuring engineering creativity and spatial skills. The aim of this book is to disseminate the CEDA tool for use in engineering educational programs, industry, NASA and the military. Creative Engineering Design Assessment (CEDA) Background, Directions, Manual, Scoring Guide and Uses discusses and outlines the need for creativity in our global economy and in engineering design and provides the CEDA tool in effort to achieve this.

Engineers and technologists often operate from a worldview of "ones and zeros." The mission of this book is to interject the colorful world of creative thinking to help engineers and technologists learn to think and work differently. Thus, "idea engineering" becomes the driving force, transforming engineers and technologists into innovators and entrepreneurs, using case studies and anecdotes from first-hand experience. The material in this book is organized to take the reader through basic concepts and techniques of creative thinking and innovation, to better solve engineering and technological challenges. It provides an overall understanding of who, what, why, when, and how "idea engineering" can transform an individual and a company to formulate and apply the best possibilities. The target audience is university-level students and practitioners, especially upper division undergraduates and graduate students in engineering education, industrial engineering, engineering technology, science, and technology; and then engineering practitioners from an engineering, technology, or science background. It can be purchased individually as a text, professional trade or reference title, or accessed within a collection libraries and professional organizations would buy. In addition, the material in this book can supplement coursework in business, communication, management, and applied creative arts. As a core or supplemental text, it would make a great foundation for a one-credit course—or a part of any three-credit capstone design course or seminar—stressing creative thinking and innovation. It would also be a good overview for any layman interested in learning about creative thinking and innovation.

Mobility is a challenge that architecture has always had to confront; Aristotle was merely the first to philosophize about it. In the This book in the Construction and Design Manual series bridges the gap between technology and design. When it comes to a successful integration of two disciplines that are usually treated as separate, Munich-based building technology expert Klaus Daniels can look back on several decades of experience. His projects illustrate how architecture and engineering can work hand in hand, based as they are on an approach in which building services are seen neither as a catalyst for an “overall idea of the building” nor as mere aids to the architectural design.The projects presented in this volume have set international standards in the architecture and technology debate.

Creativity is like an iceberg - the resulting new idea, or novel solution is only 10% of the effort. The other 90% is the complex interplay of thinking skills and strategies, personal and motivational properties that activate these skills and strategies, and the social and organizational factors of the environment that influence the creative process. Creativity in Engineering focuses on the Process, Person, Product, and Place to understand when and why creativity happens in the engineering environment and how it can be further encouraged. Special Features: - Applies findings in creativity research to the engineering arena - Defines engineering creativity and differentiates it from innovation - Discusses personality and motivational factors that impact creativity - Clarifies the role of creativity in the design process - Details the impact of thinking skills and strategies in creativity - Identifies the role the organization and environment plays in encouraging creativity - Discusses the 4P's of Creativity: Person, Product, Process, and Place - Provides tactics and tools that will help users foster creativity in engineering environments - Identifies how creativity results in innovative new solutions to problems - Applies creativity research and knowledge to the engineering space

The creative collaborations of engineers, artists, scientists, and curators over the past fifty years. Artwork as opposed to experiment? Engineer versus artist? We often see two different cultural realms separated by impervious walls. But some fifty years ago, the borders between technology and art began to be breached. In this book, W. Patrick McCray shows how in this era, artists eagerly collaborated with engineers and scientists to explore new technologies and create visually and sonically compelling multimedia works. This art emerged from corporate laboratories, artists' studios, publishing houses, art galleries, and university campuses. Many of the biggest stars of the art world--Robert Rauschenberg, Yvonne Rainer, Andy Warhol, Carolee Schneemann, and John Cage--participated, but the technologists who contributed essential expertise and aesthetic input often went unrecognized.
