Lectures

Goal

Introduce the students with the role and importance of innovative development of technical systems for the development of economics and technology at the global level until to small enterprises and individuals. Review the levels of innovation and market implementation procedure. Introduce students to the process of searching for ideas and solutions. The aesthetics or ecological properties or the transformation of biological principles into technical solutions may also be incentives and challenges. Introducing into the procedure of synthesis (creation) of a fundamentally new technical system, from the idea to the project that is the basis for its production, exploitation and recycling, is another goal. The overriding goal is to develop creative skills for engineering design.

Outcome

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: • Abstract thinking in the innovative creation (design) of a technical system. • Manage the process of searching for ideas and design solutions. • Create a conceptual structure (new operating principle) of a technical system based on the developed function structure. • Raise the level of properties of technical systems in functional, aesthetic, ecological, market and other environmental conditions. • Develop innovative technical solutions based on the transformation of biological systems, software and mental functions.

Theoretical teaching

1. Meaning, role and importance of technical innovation 2. Procedure and models for innovative development of technical systems. 3. Transformation of function into conception and conception into structure. 4. Robust and axiomatic design of technical systems. 5. Property based design of TS. Partial approach in the development of TS - DfX approach 6. Theory of TS abstraction as the basis of innovation. 7. Methods of searching for innovative ideas and solutions. 8. Biological systems as a basis for technical innovation. 9. Development of aesthetic properties of innovative technical systems. 10. Effects of eco-friendly and ergonomic TS design and innovation.

Practical teaching

In the course of semester the students working out seminar work which that allows them to understand the purport of the technical system functions. The starting point is existing design solution and the inverse procedure application leads the students to the abstract structure of the functions which is the basis for the development of innovative i.e. to the new design solutions. Auditory exercises also contains analysis and discussions of issues and practical examples covered by theoretical classes with the aim to introduce students to the phenomena that need to process in their seminar works and to prepare for the tests.
