Creativity for Engineers / Innovative Engineering
This course shows how engineers, technical
professionals and managers can boost their individual problem solving creativity and the
creativity of their group and organization. The course synthesizes for
the first time, powerful techniques from a
diverse range of disciplines, including: Psychology, Cognitive Science, Artificial
Intelligence, Engineering and the Theory of Inventive problem Solving
(TIPS/TRIZ) to create a unique, effective and structured approach for creative problem
solving.

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving - TIPS / TRIZ
This course provides a thorough introduction to the
Theory of Inventive Problem Solving. TIPS, or in its Russian acronym TRIZ, is a
revolutionary new way of improving the creativity of engineers in solving problems of
design and invention. Based on the work of the Russian engineer and scientist Henry
Altshuller, the TRIZ methodology can dramatically increase your ability to solve
engineering problems by making breakthrough solutions at the conceptual level.

e-Commerce: Tools, Technologies and Resources
The internet is dramatically impacting the way business is
being conducted by both large and small companies. This course provides the basis for
understanding and taking advantage of this exciting new technology. It presents an
overview of electronic commerce, its benefits and opportunities and related web
tools and resources. We will demo setting up an electronic store on the web, surf sample
e-Commerce sites and learn about some of the new technologies behind the e-Commerce revolution.
The course will also survey web-based informational, computational, marketing and
communication resources on the web, including a look at the use of virtual reality on the web (think
"virtual showrooms" for your products).
-
e-Marketing: Web-Based Marketing for Business
There are now about ten million web sites on
the world wide web, comprising over a billion web pages. How can you
take advantage of the tremendous potential of the web as a marketing
medium? This course presents a cost-effective, comprehensive approach to
effectively promoting your products and services on the web, including
web-based merchandizing and attracting an audience for your web site.
Many of the concepts discussed will be accompanied with live examples on
the internet.
-
Fundamentals of Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is changing the interface between people and
information technology by offering new ways for the communication of information, the
visualization of processes and the creative expression of ideas. This course provides the
basis for understanding and applying this exciting new technology.
-
Website Design for Engineers
Creating a web site on the internet or on your
company's intranet provides unique opportunities for communication, marketing, training
and even electronic commerce. And with today's user-friendly, yet powerful, site building
tools, setting up a website can be a simple and straight-forward process. This two-day,
lab-based, example-driven course will use Microsoft FrontPage to give you hands-on
experience in both the fundamentals and the more advanced aspects of personal and company
website design. Emphasis will be placed on techniques, tools and resources of interest to
engineers.
-
Knowledge-Based Engineering / Knowledge-Based CAD/CAM
This course covers the dramatic
developments in Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) that have recently become possible
through a marriage of traditional CAD/CAM techniques and those from the fields of
Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems. This marriage is producing the next generation
of truly intelligent, or Knowledge-Based, CAD/CAM systems. The course surveys examples of
these developments as well as the concepts underlying such systems. We include a look at a
constraint-based expert system for transmission design recently developed by the
instructor for Ford Motor Co., that has automatically produced thousands of patentable new
designs.
-
Knowledge-Based Automobile Transmission Design
This 1-day course looks at how knowledge-based engineering
techniques are revolutionizing automobile automatic transmission design. We first survey
the necessary background concepts and techniques from the fields of artificial
intelligence, expert systems and computational symbolic mathematics. We then take an
in-depth look at the expert system for transmission design recently developed by the
instructor for Ford Motor Co. This system has automatically produced thousands of
patentable new designs and has re-discovered all applicable already-known designs.
