INNOVATION RESOURCES

We use a three step methodology (divergent, convergent, and emergent) in the application of humorous improvisation to technical innovation entitled Improvisational Design of Engineering Alternatives (IDEA).

A paper on the use of humorous improvisation in the divergent thinking step of the three step process above - Ludovice, P.; Lefton, L.; Catrambone, R. “Improvisation for Engineering Innovation,” Proc. ASEE National Meeting, Louisville, KY, Paper AC-2010-1650, (2010).
