The document discusses creativity in engineering. It states that to be creative in engineering, one must first understand existing principles and solutions and have an imagination to apply scientific principles to solve new problems. It provides examples of how engineering designs for pyramids evolved through creativity to make them more stable. The document also notes that humanity's desire to explore drove advancements in boat engineering and the first flights. It acknowledges that while creativity comes with risks like catastrophes, it is necessary for continued advancement, which is why a strong scientific foundation is important.

Engineering Ciara Stynes A00261787 What is Creativity in Engineering?
To create something new in engineering you
first must understand what already exists.
You also need a creative mind, to imagine
how to solve new problems as they occur.
This means that to be creative in engineering
you need an upstanding of scientific principles and an imagination to apply them. Pyramids • The Bent Pyramids design was change 2/3 of the way into constructing. • The sides began to collapse in on itself. • The angle was change to make it more stable. • Designers then made the bases of the pyramids larger so as that they were able to make them taller. Advancements in Engineering • Humanity first began to discover by adventuring the seas and the lands. • The need to discover different lands pushed engineering to create better boats • The first flights were only a couple of seconds but nowadays we have commercial planes that navigate the globe. • Today we are adventuring space and the challenges that it presents. • The advancements in engineering due to creativity allow humanity to continue to discover. Risks with Creativity • Catastrophe • Loss in life • Wasted money • Unforeseen Problems
Creativity comes with a risk, but it is
required for advancement. This is why a good scientific background knowledge is so important. Thanks For Listening
