      The goal Students will master the basic methods of creating ideas aimed at successfully solving complex problems in industrial practice.
      The outcome Students will understand the general principles of creativity. Based on this, they will be able to analyse problems and choose adequate methods for solving them.
      Contents
      Contents of lectures Imagination, Creativity, Hybridization, Transdisciplinarization, Mendelyeyevization, Granularization, Generalization, Conceptualization, Methodics, Analytics.
      Contents of exercises Each student will generate a number of new ideas based on theoretical methods for a chosen industrial problem. He/she will then choose one of 10 ideas and continue to work and implement it in one of the dedicated tools. Students will be able to use the Integrated Development Environment and OpenSPL (Spatial Programming Language) tools.
