4.3.1 Research on Creativity Education Incorporating Systems Engineering—An Example with “Intelligent Taiwan”

Abstract

Abstract. Upon the arrival of the era of science and technology and information, pluralism and diversification become important trend of industrial development. Facing the rapid industrial revolution and information explosion, human being's creativity has attracted attention; a lot of studies have been done on creativity, resulting in many theories, which have been applied in various areas in recent years.This research focuses on Taiwan's current technology policy, known as "Intelligent Taiwan", and discusses the possible future Intelligence systems and issues related to continuous development of humanism. We also propose a Three-Dimensional systems engineering framework (5-layer extendable mode), which is adaptable to the future blue print and full of creativity. According to the introduction of the multi-layer value of human, nature, and esthetics, which is developed as the structure of the proposed Three-Dimensional framework, we further discuss the different value perspectives, life-style, and future influence, of systems engineering thinking. In addition, in this paper we also recommend a new thinking of the systems engineering education to link the creativity education. Hence we can expect that the talents trained in the educational way would develop more mew methods, new conceptions, and new theories in the intelligent systems. In this case, our society can become more wholesome, have more excellent engineering creativities, develop continuous new innovations, and finally achieve the intelligent life -Sustainable Humanity and Nature Symbiosis.

4.4.1 Dimensions of Understanding of Systems Engineering

“…However the historical trends result in changes in what is considered important in relation to the capabilities and desired impact of the projects addressed. This creates a further hierarchical dimension which specifically relates to the historical time dimension, presented in Figure 6, which advances the work described in Peng and Hsu (2009).…”

“…We now discuss the introduction of a third dimension, introducing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to the HKM model. This dimension was presented in (Peng and Hsu 2009). Maslow's hierarchy was a description of the kinds of human needs that exist, and is shown in Figure 1.…”

“…The dimensions are independent, referring to different aspects of the nature of engineered products, and their relation to the people who develop or acquire or use them. The two dimensions added to the HKM framework in this paper, the first based on Maslow's hierarchy which was introduced in Peng and Hsu (2009), and the second based on Palmer's recent work (2009) are significant enhancers of our understanding of systems engineering area of concern.…”
