Introducing lateral thinking in search engines
Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, 2006Decomposing a very complex problem into smaller subproblems that are much easier to solve is not a new idea. The "Parisian Approach"[9] applies this principle extensively to shatter complexity by cutting down the original problem into many small subproblems that are then globally optimized thanks to an evolutionary algorithm.

Technology and Culture, 1986
The nature of engineering, and more particularly the ways in which engineers are trained and the kinds of work they do, are matters of vital concern in our society. This concern and many of the policy issues associated with it are examined in a recently completed study organized and conducted by the National Academy of Engineering and the National ...

Enabling systems thinking for engineering students
2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE), 2017Recent developments in science and technology have resulted in many advances in our daily lives and societal conditions. These developments led to increasingly complex engineering systems that tackle a wide range of societal needs. However, these also demand a broader skill-set for each engineer working with these systems and his/her training must span

Engineering design thinking, teaching, and learning
IEEE Engineering Management Review, 2005This paper is based on the premises that the purpose of engineering education is to graduate engineers who can design, and that design thinking is complex. The paper begins by briefly reviewing the history and role of design in the engineering curriculum.

Engineering Thinking and Rhetoric
Journal of Engineering Education, 1998AbstractEngineers seek optimal solutions to problems. The solution criteria are of ten of several different types, and there is no formal way to find the best trade‐offs. Nevertheless, engineers make judgments and provide explanations to justify their choices.

Teaching Ethics
This article advances the thesis that our values and beliefs about engineering critically impact the teaching of engineering ethics, and our representations and assumptions about engineering are, accordingly, ethical questions we must consider. To illustrate how in broader sociohistorical contexts, different understandings of engineering have shaped ...

Thinking Styles in a Sample of Women Engineers
Psychological Reports, 2006The Gregorc Style Delineator was administered to 26 full-time, professional engineers, all women. Participants preferred concrete thinking styles. This tendency is similar to scores on other measures in much larger samples of engineers for whom sex was not specified.

Unfolding the Engineering Thinking of Undergraduate Engineering Students
2022Professional engineers think and act in distinctive ways when addressing engineering problems. Students need to develop this reasoning or engineering thinking during their education. Unfolding the undergraduate students’ thinking is a necessary step in designing experiences and teaching materials that foster not only their understanding of engineering ...

Thinking Like An Archaeologist and Thinking Like an Engineer
2015In this chapter it is argued that an alternative approach for archaeology, namely, utilitarian-perspective archaeology, may be a useful adjunct to more standard protocols for dealing with serious problems facing humanity. The value of utilitarian archaeology is illustrated through consideration of how prehistoric information might help to assure a ...
