Creativity is one of those things both innate and learned. Certain people have more natural comfort than others with the creative process, as well as providing unique engineering solutions. That said, we have definitely seen the impact that training and mentorship under other exemplar engineers can have on a young designer cutting his or her teeth in the industry and pursuing virtuosic engineering excellence.
Practice in engineering, like in most fields, is the key to long-term success. More than that though, practice is the “blocking and tackling” of practical engineering solutions. Skills like knowing how to use CAD software, downloading and incorporating various COTS parts from manufacturers, utilizing 3D printer and CNC technology, and testing proofs of concept will lead to creativity. Although the untrained eye might think that developing products is mystical, the truth is that much of the creative process relies on the foundation of solid and repetitive engineering training.
Here are a few simple steps to foster experiential, practical, and creative growth. These can be utilized whether you are designing for consumer products, medical devices, manufacturing equipment, oilfield equipment, and more.
