Is it possible as part of typical vocational training to learn to invent more successfully, purposefully, somehow take into account the very rich inventive experience of predecessors in a similar technological field and in the same starting level (and if so, what does this experience include)? H. Altshuller was convinced of the possibility of discovering from the experience of predecessors the methods of successful inventions that were persistently repeated and the possibility of teaching this technique to all those interested and able to learn. In the context of the implementation of modern educational objectives, the principles of finding a new technical solution from the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) were used during the training of future teaching engineers in the field of processes and devices of food manufactures. The existing TRIZ principles have been analyzed for their compliance with the specified subject area. Adequate TRIZ principles corresponding to this field have been selected. They have been concretized, detailed, and the didactic materials introduced into the educational process in practical classes on the technical disciplines of the field have been developed.
