Workshop Introduction• What are the Workshop Goals?

• Give you, the engineers, the best introduction possible inmechatronic system design. Empower each and every one!

• Show the importance of human-centered, model-based

multidisciplinary design in modern engineering practice.

• Show the relevance of mechatronics to innovation.

• How Will This Happen?

• Not a Class or Lecture! Not About Me! All About YOU!

• Interactive and Participant-Focused.

• All about fostering innovation & life-long learning, enhancing

understanding and insight, and creating collaboration now and in

the future among you.

Engineering Problem Solving• Engineers are problem solvers.

• The only way to learn problem solving is to do it!

• Only a human can solve problems; the computer is a tool.

• Design problems are the heart of engineering. To solve

them requires creativity, teamwork, and broad knowledge.

• The approach to solving an engineering problem should

proceed in an orderly, stepwise fashion, but often problem

solving is an iterative procedure.

• To become a good problem solver, an engineer must have:knowledge, experience, learning skills, motivation, and

communication and leadership skills. The ability to logically

break a problem into pieces is most important.

Mechatronics & Innovation• What are the major challenges for today’s technological

companies?• What is innovation? What are the myths of innovation?

• How does a company determine its innovation maturity

level?

• What is mechatronics and how does it enhance

innovation?

• What concrete steps can a company take to create a

culture of innovation?• How will a company know it is successful?

The Right Mindset• Technical expertise without the right motivation and without a

vision will not lead to successful designs.

• Focus on the need; become an expert in the problem and solve

the right problem. View problems as opportunities to excel! Don’t

ask the customer what they think they need, ask what the

problem is! Don’t overlook the big picture; look at the problem

and its surroundings; test the limits (big, small, fast, slow, …) as

you explore the problem; never stop asking “Why?”

• Find inspiration from outstanding examples – products, people,

companies, methods. Embrace the design attitude: be willing to

take risks, try different things, extend yourself, and learn from

failure. Identify multiple solutions to the problem; it is highly

unlikely that the first solution identified will be the best solution.

Myths of Innovation• The Eureka Moment

• Build On-Line Forums And They Will Come• Open Innovation Is The Future

• Pay Is Paramount

• Bottom-Up Innovation is Best

• Conclusion

Innovation is the lifeblood of any largeorganization. But, there are no quick fixes,panaceas, or one-size-fits-all solutions.

Innovation Maturity Level• Leadership & Strategy: The CEO champions innovation.

• Customer Focus: The company sees its customers as itsmost important stakeholder.

• Innovation: The company has at least one corporate goalthat drives innovation; there is an innovation process and it

is used on all projects.• Management and Training: Project leaders bust through

walls. They are the company’s future GMs.

• Culture and Environment: People are empowered and are

seen as value creators; excellent communications.• Decision Making: Decisions are made quickly and delegated

down.
