Stick - to - it – evenness
Producing creative solutions to problems requires
full commitment.
A successful creative engineer does not give up.
Asks why
Always curious about the world and is constantly
seeking understanding.
By asking why, the creative engineer can learn how
other engineers solved problems.
Is never satisfied
He goes through life asking, how could I do this
better, rather than complaining.

Learn from accidents
Be sensitive to the unexpected
Many great technical discoveries were
made by accident.
Makes analogies
Recall that problem solving is an iterative
process that largely involves chance
By having rich interconnections, the
chance of finding a solution is high.
We obtain rich interconnections by
making analogies during learning so
information is stored in multiple places.
Generalizes
When a specific fact is learned, he seeks
to generalize that information to
generate rich interconnections.

Develops qualitative and quantitative
understanding
Develop not only quantitative analytical skills,
but also qualitative understanding.
Get a feeling for the numbers and processes,
because that is what your subconscious needs
for its qualitative model.
