Furthermore, the highlyengaging challenge that a systems engineering approach offers the novice by asking a student toimagine an outcome and apply all their creativity and fancy to the solution becomes an enticingand limitless project to a young mind. Once the student has envisioned their model, then the nutsand bolts of engineering are introduced to show how it might be realized. Hence- a perfectinstructional hook.

The ability toformulate a problem with pencil and paper to large and small scales then ably see the big picturebeyond the computer color contour or spreadsheets and small monitor screens has alreadyresulted in tragic consequences. In his book, “Engineering in the Mind‟s Eye,” Eugene Fergusondiscusses such instances have already resulted in major problems. Due to the over-computerization, the judgment of engineers has become compromised. Ferguson cites thefollowing in this work: “Despite the enormous amounts of effort and treasure that have beenpoured into creating analytical tools to add rigor and precision to the design of complex systems,a paradox remains.

Engineering “habits of mind” align withessential skills for citizens in the 21st century. This “habits of mind” could essentially benefit theproblem solving skills of all people for reaching innovative solutions to various challenges. Engineering design process is mostly taught to engineering students during their senior yearcapstone design course after students have acquired relevant knowledge for the design. Thus, thephase of gathering knowledge is mostly carried out in a passive instructor-centered learningmodel. Most creativity education in engineering typically is associated with product design in thesenior design
