    CREATIVITY FOR ENGINEERS

    by B S Dhillon (University of Ottawa, Canada)

    Creativity is playing an ever more important role in the success or failure of organizations in the global competitive economy. The field of engineering is no exception. The objective of this book is to satisfy this vital need, which has been covered very little elsewhere.

    The book, which assumes no prior knowledge, will be useful to many people including all kinds of professional engineers, engineering managers, graduate and senior undergraduate students of engineering, and researchers and instructors in engineering, psychology, and business administration. At the end of each chapter there are numerous problems to test readers' comprehension. The book also includes a comprehensive list of references directly or indirectly related to creativity in engineering.

     
    Contents:
    • Engineering: An Introduction
    • Famous Engineering Inventions, Inventors, and Inventing
    • Creativity in Organizations
    • Creativity Management and Manpower Creativity
    • Creativity Methods
    • Creativity Measurement and Analysis
    • Creativity Climate
    • Creativity Barriers
    • Creativity in Quality Management, Software Development Process, Rail Transit Stations, and in Specific Organizations
    • Creativity Testing, Recording, and Patents
     
    Readership: Senior undergraduates, graduates, researchers and engineers in industrial engineering.
     
    “The author has done more than what an author of a book on such a subject could have done particularly when there are not many books available on the subject and this book being the first attempted effort to write one in a structured manner. The reviewer would like to recommend this book to all the engineers and engineering organizations who would like to take advantage of improving their business through the development of products, system and services that have an edge over others through creative designs.”
    International Journal of Performability Engineering
     
    “Probably the most interest would be in the section describing the various types of methods used to improve the creative process and ways to measure and analyze the results … The book will be useful to a wide audience, including all types of engineering professionals, engineering managers, students, researchers, and instructors in engineering.”
