Inventive Engineering: Knowledge and Skills for Creative Engineers

Inventive engineering is an emerging engineering science focused on the conceptual designing processes. Its core concepts are too often unknown and even surprising, but they are also feasible and can be learned, leading to potentially patentable designs. The book has its roots in engineering, psychology, history, systems engineering, political science, and computer science. It includes a general outline of inventive engineering and the conceptual designing process and guidance on the key inventive designing methods.
