This workshop summarizes an approach for teaching creative, inventive and innovative thinking to students from different disciplines, based on cumulative experience by the author at Florida Atlantic University, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University. The workshop describes teaching approaches that provide a broad perspective of innovation as applied to engineering, science, technology, and business. It details how to introduce students to new and powerful tools to boost their creative and innovative thinking skills, and how to explore win-win approaches to discover, define and solve problems. The workshop specifies ways that allow participants to re-discover their personal thinking preferences, identify and eliminate mental blocks, and enhance their communication and teaming skills. The delivery of the material uses team-based and hands-on projects and activities that stimulate innovation.
