Solving Engineering Problems

Solving practical problems in everyday engineering practice is a far cry from the textbook exercises experienced in academia. Real engineering problems are more complex and generally ill defined; containing poorly stated needs, extraneous information, conflicting goals and other complicating factors. These problems require the skills of creativity and innovation to synthesize and analyze information and knowledge through a logical progression of tasks to arrive at meaningfuleffective solutions.This monograph investigates the roles of synthesis and analysis as mental activities together with how they relate to creativity and innovation. A set ofsequential tasks is presented that defines a generic problem solving process based on synthesis and analysis. Several real engineering problems with detailed solutions demonstrate the application of this "Engineering Practice Process" problem solvingprocedure.
