Creativity for Engineers: DeepThink to Design Wins (Audio Course) (Timed and Monitored)
- Course Number: B1021T
- Credits: 1 hours
- Instructor: Ellen Huang, PE
- Price: $10
Course Outline
This course equips engineers to turn creative sparks into real-world design wins. You’ll practice DeepThink’s question-based prompts and run anonymity-enabled VTASI sessions to generate high-novelty ideas, then map them through the innovation value chain—from idea generation to development and diffusion—to maximize impact in your organization. Along the way, you’ll learn practical facilitation, pruning, and ranking techniques that consistently surface patent-ready concepts and accelerate engineering outcomes.
At the end of this course, there will be a multiple-choice, open-book quiz, which is designed to enhance your understanding of the course material.
