Entry knowledge

Student who will book this course should to know basic thinking operations (induction, deduction, abstraction, concretisation,...)

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested, accomplished semestral project SP1 and bachelor projekt (BP).
Student who will book this course should to know taks to be solved in projects (SP and DP) where topics mastered in MPRI can be utilized:
- data mining, - knowledge mining, - analysis of object to be innovated, - solution of innovative-inventive tasks, - verification of solution variants,...) and software support by Goldfire tools (analysis, synthesis, datamining, knowledge mining, patent collolections, trend analysis, semantic processor, multicriterial evaluation of variants...).

Aims

Learn, master and utilize:
- methodical and SW tools of the Project Management for planning, preparing and realization of changes in general and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TIPS/TRIZ) for formulation and solving of technological (product and process) innovation concretely.
- methodology TIPS/TRIZ and its software support Goldfire Innovator for analyse, synthesis, verification and data/knowledge mining.
Course offers knowledge and abilities development needed for planning, designing and control of changes generally and technical innovation in concrete.
Absolvent is able to describe and explain:
- inovative project (target, aim, outputs, activity, resources),
- each analytical steps (compononets, structure, functions, parameters, costs, innovation task),
- typical inventive task (technical contradicktion, physical contradiction, substance or field conflicts, technical function),
- recommendation for finding of solutins (heuristics, separation, solution patterns, scientific effects).
Absolvent is able to use: analysis of object, synthesis of innnovative solution, search of relevant information and knowledgefor problem solving.
Absolvent is able to create: report describing solution of a project.
