Five Ws and H

15-25, 25+, Amount of people, Analysis & problem definition, Between half an hour and one hour, Between one and two hours, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Individual, On-line Classroom activity, Self-work by students, Theory-based, Type of activity, Type of class, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

This is a simple but powerful tool for cutting quickly through the outward symptoms of a problem to reveal its underlying causes (WHY), so that you can deal with it once and for all. How to dela with the issue is represented by the H (HOW).

Flashing Lights

Amount of people, Analysis & problem definition, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Half an hour or less, On-line Classroom activity, Practice-based, Type of activity, Type of class, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

The flashing Lights Technique is used to reveal the current mood and ideas of the participants in a group.

Experiential Learning

15-25, 25+, Amount of people, Analysis & problem definition, Between half an hour and one hour, Between one and two hours, Collaborative team setting, Design & Prototyping, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Half an hour or less, Ideation & Conceptual design, More than 2 hours, On-line Classroom activity, Practice-based, Type of activity, Type of class, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

Experiential Learning can be defined as “learning by doing” as it blends learning with experience, and therefore covers a very broad knowledge development process.

Expert Panel

Amount of people, Assessment & evaluation, Between half an hour and one hour, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, On-line Classroom activity, Practice-based, Type of activity, Type of class, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

In the expert panel, experts selected specifically for the panel share useful information based on their experience and can evaluate an idea from an objective point of view.

The NAF Technique

15-25, 25+, Amount of people, Assessment & evaluation, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Half an hour or less, Ideation & Conceptual design, Individual, On-line Classroom activity, Self-work by students, Type of activity, Type of class, Undetermined, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

NAF Technique is an idea selection method that aims to determine the Newest, Appealing and Feasible from a group of ideas.

6-3-5 Method

15-25, 25+, Amount of people, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Half an hour or less, Ideation & Conceptual design, Practice-based, Theory-based, Type of activity, Type of class, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

The 6 (x) -3-5 is a group-work creativity method that is functional as a brain-writing activity.

Reframing Matrix

15-25, Amount of people, Analysis & problem definition, Between half an hour and one hour, Collaborative team setting, Duration, Engineering areas, Group, Group or individual activity, Ideation & Conceptual design, Individual, Self-work by students, Type of activity, Type of class, Undetermined, Up to 15 / By ticon_team

The Reframing Matrix technique helps to overcome cognitive biases in ideation and problem analysis by enabling the students to look at a problem from other than their usual perspective.

Taking a Picture
