Week 7 Free Post

My other free post is about a blog I found. I found this interesting article called "Solving Problems or Creating Solutions?" about engineering mindsets. Here's the link: http://blog.engineersimplicity.com/2009/06/solving-problems-or-creating-solutions.html

I thought it was interesting how the post went on to say engineers ways of doing things. The problem solving way or the more solutions way. The post goes on to say what both are and the positives and negatives of both. I think the post was right when it said engineers have one of the two mindsets when faced with a problem. I think it is hard to determine which mindset is best to use for various types of projects. What do you guys think is it better to have a Problem Solving mindset or a Creating Solutions mindset?
