Creativity, Idea Generation, Improvisational Humor, and Product Design by Barry Matthew Kudrowitz Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on May 19, 2010 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering Abstract It is widely recognized that innovation and creativity is the new competitive battleground for product development firms. Engineers and product designers are now expected to be highly creative, prolific idea generators in addition to being analytically competent. Thus, it is of interest to study methods to improve a designer's idea generation capabilities. It is believed that wit, being spontaneous humor production, is strongly related to creativity as both involve making non- obvious connections between seemingly unrelated things.

    Oxford Middle School The Oxford, MI Paw Print February 2020 By: Grace Morgan & Brooke Mery r. McDonald has known people in his family who have struggled with mental health. He thinks there is not a lot of support in Michigan for people with Mmental health. Mr. McDonald says, “If you are struggling with a mental illness, ask for help. Look for the signs. If you notice someone who doesn’t seem like they are happy with life, be that person who says I’m here to help you.” He doesn’t think a lot of people know where to get help, but Okay to Say is a good program to go to. Mr. McDonald says, “The most common stereotype is that there is something wrong with their personal- ity because they may always be nervous or anxious and they are worried about being judged.” This needsto change. r. Keenist had anxiety issues 5 years ago. “At the time they were pretty tough, but looking back they were a blessing in disguise because I can use that experience Mto help the kids I teach now,” explains Mr. Keenist. He got some treatment and is a lot better now. Mr. Keenist says, “Get help and don’t be ashamed because it is very common.” Mr. Keenist doesn’t think a lot of people know where to go or who to talk about problems they have. Mr. Keenist says, “The most common stereotype is that people are weak if they have a mental issue because people can think you can get over it on your own, but it’s not something you can get over on your own, it’s like a sickness.” And there should be no shame in getting help.

Reid . 30 Jen Sorensen . 32 Scott Stantis . 34 Ed Stein . 36 Ted Rall . 38 Ann Telnaes . 42 Matt Wuerker . 43 The Introduction The Golden Age for editorial cartoonists at the nation’s newspapers is over. At the start of the 20th century, there were approximately 2,000 editorial cartoonists employed by newspapers in the United States. Today there are fewer than 40 staff cartoonists, and that number continues to shrink. At the same time, the digital age presents more potential outlets for editorial cartoons than at any time in the history of the news media. “It’s never been easier for anyone to find a wide audience for their self-expression; the tough part is getting paid for it,” said a nationally recognized cartoonist who asked for anonymity. “The challenge is not one of technology, but of economics.” American newspapers are struggling to master the new economics of the digital age. Profits and circulation are continuing to fall as the industry is evicted from its traditional advertising base. And there are estimates that a third of the nation’s reporters have lost their jobs in the past decade. There are fewer than 1,400 daily newspapers today, several thousand below the peak in 1913. Since then, the nation’s population has more than tripled, to 311 million.
