Traditional Models of Innovators
• Innovation– Dream, Create, Invent, Pioneer, Imagine!
8 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Traditional Models of Innovation
• In the past a innovator was a single person – Charles Kettering (General Motors Research)• Automotive Electrical, Fueling, HVAC Systems, Diesel
Locomotives
– L.R. Glosten (Naval Architect)• FLIP research vessel
– Sikorsky, von Braun, HenkelBrunelleschi, Jobs, Edison, etc.

Challenges to Traditional Innovation
• Scope of Engineering is becoming larger– System size, hierarchy, and complexity is
increasing
Firesmith, et al., 2009

Challenges to Traditional Innovation
• Rates of Innovation are Increasing– Product development cycles are increasing in pace
• Why can’t that work come home? Mr. Obama asked. Mr. Jobs’s reply was unambiguous. “Those jobs aren’t coming back,” he said…“The speed and flexibility is breathtaking,” the executive said. “There’s no American plant that can match that.”
• “People will carry this phone in their pocket, he said. People also carry their keys in their pocket. “I won’t sell a product that gets scratched,” he said tensely. The only solution was using unscratchable glass instead. “I want a [unscratchable] glass screen, and I want it perfect in six weeks.”

Challenges to Traditional Innovation
• Needs for innovation are becoming greater– Systems are becoming more
critical to a broader set of stakeholders
– Technology build-out is a private industry concern
12 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Challenges to Traditional Innovation
• The bandwidth of a single engineer is not improving

Challenges to Traditional Innovation
• Somewhere between 5 and 9 bits of input is all that humans can take-in, classify, order, compare
But didn’t I just make the case that engineering is getting more complicated?
How can we be expected to innovate when no person can understand an entire problem?
Maybe it is impossible to innovate on the projects that David talked about…

Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• When engineering educators talk about the state of engineering education we talk about 3 “missed revolutions”– Three things that we did not teach you in school
• The Quality Revolution • The Entrepreneurship Revolution• The Information Technology Revolution
– But that are central to US business and engineering practice in industry
• They give us examples of how to innovate in a real-world industrial contextGoldberg and Sommerville, 2014
23 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• The Quality Revolution– Preexisting state-of-the-art said that quality was
derived from • 100% Testing, customization, design for longevity
– Japanese industry said that quality could be derived from • Statistical process control, robust design, reliability-
based design, Kaizen
– Has changed every aspect of US manufacturing between 1990-present
24 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• The Quality Revolution
– Empowers the individual and small groups within a huge production system
– Continuous improvement provides motivation for innovation

Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• The Entrepreneurship Revolution– As the conventional corporation devolved in
1975-1990, the US experienced a giant growth in entrepreneurship
– Now, the emphasis on entrepreneurship is embedded in many major US companies• Silicon Valley• Woodward• United Technologies (Sikorsky, Carrier, Pratt&Whitney)• General Motors
DF Kuratko, 2005

Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• The Entrepreneurship Revolution– Even within these mega-corporations, there is the
opportunity to innovate• Take on risk • Develop intellectual property• Bring innovation to the market
27 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• The Information Revolution– We see it everywhere in our everyday life, and you
will see it in your engineering career• Data is ubiquitous• Every engineering artifact has a dataset on its
requirements/design/manuf/testing/costing/disposal lifecycle attached to it
– Many opportunities for innovation by taking advantage of the richness of new information
28 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• Automotive Powertrain Design– Every modern vehicle provides real-time
feedback to the vehicle engineering process• Conditions of use, Diagnostics, Infrastructure

Engineering’s Ongoing Information Revolution
• Each of these Revolutions have succeeded by enabling small groups to
• How can we understand a problem when there is so much information?
30 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
What tools will enable innovation for the future?
• The fundamental process of innovation in engineering is design decision making– As a result of your
engineering education, you will be well trained in engineering analysis (modeling)
31 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
• Objectives for Modern Engineering Design Tools – Handle the complexity of modern requirements,
analysis, validation, testing, manufacturing, end-use
– Allow the designers to concentrate on innovation, creativity, and unexplored possibilities
– Enable teamwork, decision making, and communication within a larger organization
What tools will enable innovation for the future?
32 Colorado State University © Thomas Bradley, 2014
What tools will enable innovation for the future?
• Case Study of Next-Next Generation Toyota Gasoline Hybrids – In order to make long-term product design
decisions, we must consider• Automotive engineering, policy projections, customer
preference projection, manufacturing, cost projections, environmental impact, macro-economic projections…
– All these groups … telling you what not to do !
