Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to

As a sophomore, (s)he might use operationalamplifiers and comparators to construct some basic A/D and D/A circuit topologies (e.g. flashand single-slope converters) in a laboratory course. Later, as a junior (s)he might build a current-summing D/A converter using MOS and bipolar transistors.

Creativity is how to find that solution and adaptit to the specific problem. After reviewing 2.5 million patents from 1946 to 1985, Altshuller andhis colleagues found patterns that led to the breakthrough solutions to given problems. Thesepatterns were summarized into 40 inventive principles for problem solving, the separationprinciples, laws of technical evolution and technology forecasting and 76 standard solutions.Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking (ASIT) is a creative thinking method derived fromTRIZ by R.
