OF AN

ENGINEER AND A HUMANIST

ME09B056

How does an Engineer

Designs his Model

Given , the problem statement for

the model with data.
What are all necessary to Design
Engineering Knowledge

But, how to Design it ????

A Sequence of steps are followed in

the design process to achieve the
Model.

How does a Humanist

Creates his work

Given, Purpose of his work.

What are all necessary to Create
Skills in their area of expertise

But,

A Sequence of steps are followed in

Working to produce work.

how to Create it ????

Why Universal Creative Process

***Designing/Creating is a big process, its
better to break it down to smaller
processes for easier operation.

7)

Confrontation (Know what should you do)

Formulation (Know you are going to do)
Conceptualization (Find methods and approach them)
Synthesis (Start working on your work)
Modelling (Progress your work to your goal)
Analysis (How good is your work)
Presentation (Describe you have done)

Designing a Suspension
Spring for a Cycle
1.Confrontation:

3.Conceptualization:

o Collect data weight, dimensions,

o Rough idea of Springs, theory.

o Material type Selection

o Type of Spring, tensile,compressive

2.Formulation:

4.Synthesis:

o Loading Static, Dynamic.

o No of springs needed.

o Other parameters length,

diameter etc
o Amount of Stress and Strain on
Spring

Designing a Suspension
Spring for a Cycle
5.Modelling:

7.Presentation:

o Find different factors of

functionality
o Model it in software, and
assemble it in cycle,

o Present the Design with

specifications.
o Installment and Usage details.

6.Analysis:
o Safety Factor, Durability etc..
o Production cost affordable?

Painting a Scene of
City Traffic
Picture of car, buses, bikes on road
Buildings, People, Houses etc.
What am I going to draw? Pencil Sketch, Oil
Painting, Poster coloring, Lithograph.
Size of Painting Portrait, Landscape
What view, What are the elements to be in
painting.
Visualize in mind, about the painting, relative
size of elements, amount of complexity,
Select Brushes, Colors, Canvas, make outlines,
Start coloring, and make the first overall look.

ME09B056

Painting a Scenery of
City Traffic
Add details (lights, shadows, tint, marks), give life
to it.
Apply different effects, choose best of it.
Look at your work, observe, analyze. Correct the
mistakes (if any),
Add final touch to it, is it good?
Describe your painting, what it depicts, why this?
Name your price !

Paralleling of Engineering and

Humanities Creativity

No difference in basic elements of Creativity

Differences prevail only in their disciplines and
procedures.
Both have equal importance to creativity.
They have lot of mutual interests in their
respective field of work.
Creators Create in Creative and Similar Way.

HUMANISTIC WORKS

Engineering Knowledge How Useful to Humanists

Many of the Humanists work involve understanding
of some technical knowledge behind it.
Which means, a Engineer is needed to assist a
Humanist in his work. In Other words, Engineers
methods are useful to a Humanist.
As Mentioned Earlier, Engineer and a Humanist have
similar methods of creation, therefore an Engineer
can create his own Humanistic work.

Engineer and a Humanist

Leonardo Da Vinci

an Italian Renaissance Polymath, painter,

sculptor, architect, musician, scientist,
mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist,
geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.

Mystery Monalisas Smile

(eyes are sending mixed
signals to the brain about
her smile.)

Vitruvian Man
(the length of the hand is one-tenth of the height of a man)

Is there a Difference
in their Creativity
Respective methods of creation are founded on similar basic
elements.
Humanists and Engineer need acquaintance with each others
fields.
Every Engineer can use their knowledge to accomplish limited
Humanistic Creations.
There is no difference in their Creativity
