25.612.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Experimental Assessment of TRIZ Effectiveness in Idea GenerationABSTRACTTRIZ is an idea generation method that identifies conflicting principles in a given problem andthen searches for previous solutions that have solved similar conflicts. How effective is TRIZ?This is an important question because it is conducive to a second question: what makes TRIZ(more, or less) effective? Understanding this provides the opportunity to improve the teaching ofTRIZ, a more efficient use, and even the possibility of improving the method itself. In this paperwe present results from experiments comparing TRIZ against
