Michelle M. Camacho is Professor of Sociology at the University of San Diego. She began her career at UC San Diego in 1999 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for US Mexican Studies, and later as a UC Faculty Fellow in Ethnic Studies. In 2015-16, she returned to UC San Diego as a fellow of the American Council on Education. As a bilingual/bicultural Latina, Camacho has 30 years of experience in higher ed- ucation advocating for underrepresented groups and first generation college students. For over a decade, her work on institutional transformation has received funding from the National Science Foundation to examine and address inequities in higher education, specifically as they relate to Science, Technology

career engineers to experienced engineering leaders. Someglobal technical organizations go to extraordinary lengths to develop working environments thathone the creative skills of their employees, while an increasing number of academic institutionsstrive to deliver curricula focused on creativity from a variety of perspectives. Despite these efforts,engineering professionals and academics continue to debate the best ways to embed and facilitatecreativity in engineering programs. In this exploratory study, we investigated how engineeringstudents perceive creativity and whether we could positively influence their acceptance ofcreativity as part of their leadership development. We analyzed a sample of graduate-levelengineering students’ perceptions

For example, 48% of engineeringgraduates who took elective courses in entrepreneurship as undergraduates started their ownbusinesses [13]. In fact, a majority of engineering students believe that it is beneficial to haveentrepreneurship courses in the curriculum [14]. Thus, there is an urgent need to impartentrepreneurial knowledge and skills to students to help them understand the market and makevaluable contribution to society [8].

First, Nicholson [7] reminded us that optimization in industry and schoolmaterials’ are inherently linked; as such we would expect SCET to be particularly relevant in theindustry discipline [8] [9]. Therefore, an absence of some important courses’ presence in SCETprograms would reflect an essential gap in curriculum development and, conversely, its presencewould signal that technology and some engineering departments have been proactive in
