Theory of Innovation Based Problem Solving (TRIZ)

Learning Objective:

By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate TRIZ into the innovation process and a toolkit for addressing complex engineering and mechanics challenges in innovative ways.

Description:

This course introduces students to the principles and practical applications of the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) method for innovation in mechanics. TRIZ provides a systematic approach to innovation and problem-solving by analyzing patterns of invention and identifying solutions to engineering challenges. Students will learn how to apply TRIZ tools and techniques to generate creative solutions, improve product functionality, and resolve design conflicts in mechanical systems. The course is project-based and students will be able to align the project topic and goals with their professional interests.
