"Engineering Ingenuity" is a playbook for innovation principles and applied innovation curricula at the University of Houston. It emphasizes developing innovation as a scalable cognitive skill through structured methodologies. The course is divided into three modules: Engineering Ingenuity (discovery and creation), Development (idea to concept), and Production (concept to reality). It teaches critical thinking, systems thinking, lateral thinking, logic modeling, reasoning, and communication. The program aims to equip students with practical skills for real-world competencies, leading to an Innovation Engineering™ Blue Belt certificate. The text stresses that innovation requires structured ingenuity, not just creativity, and addresses common barriers like fear and conventional thinking. It details a systematic approach to problem-solving and idea development, encouraging experiential learning and embracing failure as a learning opportunity.
