SUMMARY:DesignMatters2: The creativity imperative and the technology prof
 essional of the future
CREATED:20081030T110000Z
DESCRIPTION:The creativity imperative and the technology professional of 
 the futureThe world is apparently flat. It is being given over to a risi
 ng creative class\, and it requires a whole new mind. A common conclusio
 n drawn from authors such as Friedman\, Florida\, and Pink is that techn
 ology professionals in advanced economies must excel at creating new cat
 egories of product and service. Returns to routine engineering/technolog
 y labor are declining because of the ease with which these tasks may be 
 outsourced. The talk will discuss this situation and the work of the iFo
 undry for Innovation in engineering education.David E. Goldberg\, is the
  Jerry S. Dobrovolny Distinguished Professor in Entrepreneurial Engineer
 ing and the co-director of iFoundry at UIUC and co-founder of ShareThis 
 Inc.\, a web2.0 startup company. He is the author of Genetic Algorithms 
 in Search\, Organization\, and Machine Learning (1989)\, The Design of I
 nnovation (2002)\, and The Entrepreneurial Engineer (2006).
