Description

See why ideation is so essential in engineering design, and learn the steps that ensure it’s done properly.
Learn all you need to know about idea development in engineering design

Ideation is the first (and arguably the most important) stage of engineering design.

This three-week course, created by experts at Universiti Malaya, offers an in-depth introduction to the successful development of ideas in engineering design. If you want to ensure you create functional processes and products, this course is for you.

Understand the fundamentals of engineering design

Engineering design is the series of steps that engineers use to develop successful products or operations. Systems thinking and design thinking are both important parts of this overall process.

On this course, you’ll get the chance to explore all aspects of the process, understanding them from design and systems thinking perspectives.

With the comprehensive training materials that unpack all the fundamentals, you’ll gain great insight into engineering design and, ultimately, will be able to excel as an engineer.

Pair creative ideation with effective action

On this course, you’ll learn to use structured methodology to identify problem statements based on user needs, solutions to these statements, and possible obstacles to these solutions. Even ways of dealing with these obstacles.

You’ll also learn how to explore ways of dealing with the obstacles you identify. Not only will you see how the idea development process works, but you’ll discover how to turn your brainstorming sessions into real results too.
