Strategies for Creative Problem Solving de H. Scott Fogler

Strategies for Creative Problem Solving

Autor H. Scott Fogler, Steven E. LeBlanc, Benjamin Rizzo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2013

Remarcăm în Strategies for Creative Problem Solving o abordare riguroasă și interdisciplinară, care îmbină psihologia cognitivă cu metodologiile pragmatice din inginerie și managementul schimbării. Această a treia ediție rafinează un cadru sistematic de lucru, validat prin cercetări subvenționate de National Science Foundation, oferind instrumente concrete pentru tranziția de la probleme prost definite la soluții implementabile. Structura cărții ghidează cititorul printr-o progresie logică: de la stabilirea mentalității corecte și a viziunii în capitolul 2, la dezvoltarea abilităților de gândire critică în capitolul 3, culminând cu tehnici specifice de definire a problemelor reale.

Putem afirma că volumul se distinge prin ancorarea în realitatea tehnică, integrând peste 25 de exemple noi din actualitate care ilustrează gestionarea schimbărilor complexe. Găsim aici o evoluție naturală față de lucrările anterioare ale lui H. Scott Fogler, precum Wax Deposition sau Migrations of Fines in Porous Media. Dacă acele titluri se concentrau pe rigoarea științifică a unor fenomene fizice specifice, volumul de față transferă acea disciplină analitică asupra procesului de gândire în sine.

Considerăm această lucrare o alternativă tehnică solidă la Absolute Essentials of Creative Thinking and Problem Solving de Tony Proctor pentru cursurile de gândire strategică și rezolvare de probleme. Avantajul major al textului semnat de Fogler, LeBlanc și Rizzo constă în componenta aplicată: utilizarea euristicilor și a resurselor digitale interactive (simulări computerizate) care transformă teoria într-un set de competențe verificabile, esențiale în curriculumul de inginerie și științe aplicate.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte studenților și profesioniștilor din domeniile tehnice care doresc să depășească abordările empirice în favoarea unei metodologii structurate. Cititorul câștigă acces la un sistem premiat de ASEE, care înlocuiește intuiția cu tehnici de gândire critică și simulări interactive. Este o resursă esențială pentru oricine trebuie să identifice rădăcina unei probleme complexe și să implementeze soluții eficiente sub presiunea mediului industrial actual.

Despre autor

H. Scott Fogler este profesor distins la University of Michigan și o figură de referință în ingineria chimică, servind ca președinte al AIChE în 2008. Cu peste 200 de publicații științifice și o carieră dedicată cercetării mediilor poroase și cineticii reacțiilor, Fogler aduce în literatura de specialitate o rigoare analitică deosebită. Experiența sa în coordonarea a zeci de doctoranzi și implicarea în ASEE i-au permis să dezvolte materiale didactice de excepție, recunoscute prin premii prestigioase precum Meriam-Wiley Distinguished Author Award, adaptând expertiza tehnică la nevoile de formare a gândirii strategice.

Descriere scurtă

A Tested, Proven Approach to Problem Solving-Updated with New Material and Current, Real-Life Examples Strategies for Creative Problem Solving, Third Edition, will help you hone your creative skills and apply those skills to solve nearly any problem. Drawing on National Science Foundation-funded, advanced research that studied problem-solving techniques in all areas of modern industry, the book presents a comprehensive, systematic problem-solving framework. Through hands-on techniques and exercises drawing on realistic examples, you will learn how to approach an ill-defined problem, identify the real problem, generate and implement the best solution, evaluate what you learn, and build on that knowledge. This third edition has been updated and revised, further enhancing its value for engineers, technical practitioners, students, and anyone who wants to improve their problem-solving skills.Updates include * More than twenty-five new examples based on recent, real-world events and topics * Expanded coverage of critical thinking and reasoning, including an introduction to structured critical reasoning * New discussion of managing complex change * Expanded and improved explanations of the components of problem-solving strategies The first edition of this book earned ASEE's 1996 Meriam-Wiley Distinguished Author Award, and now it's more focused and useful than ever. Companion Web Site The book's companion Web site (engin.umich.edu/scps) is a valuable resource for students and instructors. The Web site contains * Interactive Computer Modules: Seven simulations linked to the book's content and designed to deepen your expertise with every stage of the problem-solving process * Summary Notes: Chapter-specific material that highlights important points in each chapter-excellent for classroom presentations and concept review * Professional Reference Shelf: Additional examples and problem-solving materials * Additional Study Materials: Course syllabi and Web links to related material
