Abstract

The human pursuit of knowledge is an extended journey through time, beginning with the dawn of human civilization and continuing to this day. Humans have used tools to further satisfy their daily needs, and the desire for knowledge has arisen to harness it for our service. In the view of philosophers since the time of the Greeks, empirical science is the ideal form of knowledge. They affirm that sensory observation is the primary source and the ultimate arbiter of knowledge, and that the human mind deceives itself if it thinks it can reach any kind of truth other than the empty logical relationships. This type of philosophy is called "Empiricism".

The empirical method in research means acquiring knowledge through observation in identifying things and phenomena and experimenting on them using the senses. This technique is ancient, dating back to the dawn of civilization.

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a cognitive skill that encompasses a set of methods for solving problems. It is known as a systematic, organized theory with a human orientation, based on a knowledge base where the human being is the goal of this theory, and it aims to solve problems in a creative way.

The design thinking process focuses on how to develop design solutions, into a framework that can be used to address large, complex, and largely unknown problems in material development.
