Idea Generation Stage
The steps involved in the idea generation stage are illustrated in the flowchart below:
A process of elimination was carried out until one idea was selected. In order to assess each ideas potential, a set of criteria was generated:
- Complexity;
- Cost of Project;
- Economic Benefit;
- Environmental Benefit;
- Experimental Potential;
- Group Subject Knowledge;
- Industry Desirability;
- Supervisor Subject Knowledge;
- Originality.
The Resulting Idea
The idea generation stage resulted in the following idea being generated:
“The incorporation of Knudsen pumps into boundary layer suction”
The final idea evolved out of two separate ideas; one relating solely to investigating Knudsen pumps and one aimed at developing a boundary layer control strategy.
