Sample This Powerful Workshop Now at No Cost:
Take an exciting, fun mini-workshop and learn how to apply TRIZ (one of the many creativity stimulation techniques taught in our full workshop) to the solution of a real engineering problem. Earlier taught WebLive™, it’s available as a Now@Web™ e-learning course for just $49, but you can get it free as a member. (Become member, it’s free!). Let your friends know about this, too; they’ll thank you for it! This is a real, 35-minute long short course, not a sales webinar.
Read the Book … Take the Course!
This book is the textbook component of the Eogogics Unleashing Engineering Creativity Workshop. Written by Joe Berk, a Principal Member of the Eogogics Engineering Faculty, it explores the best techniques for stimulating creative thinking, solving design challenges, and creating new (or improving existing) products and processes. Research shows that even we as engineers (who are paid to be creative) lose much of our natural creativity by the time we become adults. But there’s help! This engaging, practical, and lavishly illustrated book discusses most of the powerful creativity stimulation techniques taught in the Eogogics creativity workshop. The workshop builds on the book to help you thoroughly understand and apply these techniques to your own engineering challenges. An exciting, fun book, it’s a good first step toward becoming a more creative engineer!
