Innovative Engineering Product Design

Unraveling colossal-problems faced by the-humanity in the 21st Century requires both; Creativity and Innovation. In-essence Creativity is a-mere-starting-point (ideation) for any Innovation while Engineering-Design is the only credible-link (being disciplined meticulous and consistent) which enables successful-transformation from Creativity (e.g. unique-ideas) into useful-Innovations (such-as: artifacts systems processes and services). This-book presents a-digest of selected-examples of Innovative Product designs to-solve 3 conceptually-different-types of problems such-as: (i) lack of affordable-housing (2 examples); (ii) cheating at exams via mobile-phones (3 examples); and (iii) particular-medical-condition (2 examples). The-book also exposed a so-called ‘Paradox in-Engineering-Creativity” where divergent and convergent-thinking do co-exist. Moreover a-fascinating-history of Thomas Edison’s light-bulb-invention is detailed alongside-with current-developments in-the-field of lighting. This-work targets Engineering-faculty and students as well-as product design-professionals and enthusiasts.
