GE 393 DEG - The Theory and Practice of Engineering Innovation, Invention, and Creativity GE 393 DEG considers the theory and practice of engineering innovation, invention, and creativity from a variety of perspectives. In particular, psychological, historical, and algorithmic or heuristic approaches to innovation, invention, and creativity are considered. Techniques such as Osborn's brainstorming, de Bono's lateral thinking, and TRIZ are covered, and recent connections between genetic algorithms and creativity are discussed. Students will be expected to (a) engage the literature through the writing of a research paper, and (b) complete out-of-class assignments, and (c) participate in extensive class discussions. The Theory and Practice of Engineering Innovation, Invention, and Creativity is taught by D. E. Goldberg, director of the Illinois Genetic Algorithms laboratory (IlliGAL) in the Deparment of General Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
