A project-based approach, which includes design ideation and thinkingin the context of individual and team projects, is incorporated to promote engagedlearning. Design thinking is a creative process based on the generation of many ideas andthe selection of really good ideas from the many. In order to do this it is necessary tothink generatively and postpone judgements on the ideas that emerge. Encouragingstudents to think outside their usual ways of thinking(2) is an important feature of theprocess since this can often lead to novel solutions.
