Supporting techniques for creative thinking

Summary

The aim of the course is to introduce students to a systems approach to improving or designing a technical system or process that guarantees finding possible solutions. Thus, it can be said that the presented procedures and methods increase the creativity of their users. Students will have the knowledge to transform a general specification of a technical problem into a detailed requirements list with measurable parameters. They will also learn the process of creating concepts and variants of technical solutions and their objective assessment. The course will also introduce selected techniques for overcoming problems in the preparation and synthesis of solutions for innovation or new product design.
