Creativity in engineering - Part 4 (English version)

CPDC: Conceptual Postprocessing Divergent Convergent. This tutorial describes a relevant task within the conceptual engineering process that consists of post-processing the SSC (Spectrum of Solution Concepts) to understand and classify the solutions achieved, and deepen the learning of the problem. Its objective is to obtain new solutions, either by association of pre-existing ones, by the discovery of conceptual omissions or by a crisis of ideas and paradigms that induces the breaking of molds and the appearance of disruptive concepts. In order to properly contextualize this task, all the milestones of the conceptual stage are reviewed, highlighting the moment in which the CPDC is executed and glimpsing its relevance.

The following comments are based on an example (https://grabcad.com/library/g-train-1) that is in its early stages of conceptualization and that is not intended to focus on "the technical benefits of a solution" but on "the correct work methodology" in conceptual engineering, timely attending to aspects related to wealth/diversity/divergence of thought:

Los siguientes comentarios se basan sobre un ejemplo (https://grabcad.com/library/g-train-1) que se encuentra en sus primeras etapas de conceptualización y que no pretende enfocarse en "las bondades técnicas de una solución" sino en "la correcta metodología de trabajo" en ingeniería conceptual, atendiendo oportunamente aspectos relacionados a la riqueza/diversidad/divergencia de pensamiento:

To seriously study creativity, it is useful to know something about the first scientific efforts to define and explain it, attributable to psychology.

A reflection on verbal and visual skills to take advantage of the "degrees of freedom (DOF)" present in engineering problem statements. To this end, some results of the challenge posed are used as an excuse to address these ideas: https://grabcad.com/groups/weekly-challenge-group/discussions/a-mechanism-to-move-the-green-orange-rectangle

Why so much insistence on low-level functional sketches? Because they are the ideal complement to the wonderful, but limited, working memory of our brain.
