Master students learning TRIZ at the University: past experiences, future plans, and best practices

Paper in proceeding, 2016

Creating an efficient learning environment for TRIZ at a university is far from trivial. Although the TRIZ-tools for solving problems can appear simple at a glance, applying them to real world problems by beginners is not. In this paper we share our experiences teaching and developing a university course in TRIZ for Master students with different Engineering backgrounds. The syllabus of the course is presented, student results and feedback are analyzed, and plans for future course development are discussed.
