TECHNICAL CREATION AS A WHOLE, IN ENGINEER TRAINING

Abstract

Technical interventions, creative works (products) become in our days more and more complicated and complex, their far-reaching influences and consequences last for a long time, and all these require new scientific and institutionalized methods. This will have to take on a more and more definite character in engineering education. Complex engineering products generally consist of cooperative subsystems and hete- rogeneous component parts going back to different specialities and industrial branches. Therefore there is a need for engineers who are capable of surveying the various influences and consequences of technical innovations and its inner and outer interactions.
