Methodology For Solving Key Problems Through Non-Standard Solutions In The Training Of Future Engineers

Abstract

This methodology aims to address key problems in the training of future engineers through non-standard solutions. The approach focuses on developing students’ creative and critical thinking, enabling broader problem analysis, integrating interdisciplinary knowledge, and emphasizing applied project design. The design-thinking stages include: problem framing, ideation, prototyping, testing, analysis, and iteration. By selecting real-world problems in the learning process, working in groups on open-ended questions, building prototypes, and using CAD and simulation tools, knowledge is translated into practice. Assessment is conducted with rubrics based on indicators such as creative thinking, problem analysis, prototyping skills, results analysis, active participation in teamwork, and self-assessment. The expected outcome is that future engineers will be able to find effective solutions even in non-routine situations, work productively in interdisciplinary teams, and demonstrate flexible, innovation-oriented thinking.
