Assignment 1, 2 and 3 consisted of someof the greatest failures in history. These are: The Nuclear power plant explosion inChernobyl, Russia, the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster, and the Hyatt Regency WalkwayCollapse respectively; see Appendix 1. The students need to answer several questions on thefailures using the three components of creativity: (1) Originality, (2) Value, and (3)Flexibility.While working on flexibility they should show different angles of approaching the problem for areliable solution. While working on originality the students need to display their knowledge

and belonging in engineering culture. The inequality of women in engineering has beenattributed to persistent male-dominated cultures and women’s difficulty establishing themselvesas legitimate engineers. In 1993, McIlwee [1] found that men’s identities in engineering centeredaround “tinkering” hobbies and passion for technology. Women’s interest in engineering, incontrast, was typically more academic and less “hands on”. In her ethnographic work withengineering students, Tonso [2] argued that despite a wide range of normative engineeringidentities, none of them were associated with women. Ten years later, McLoughlin [3] arguedthat while some women were drawn to engineering through the “traditional” pathway of passionfor technology, there is

It is usually difficult toaccommodate any extra time due to the lack of available resources to keep the laboratoriesopen. Additionally, laboratory facilities are often inaccessible to the students of otherdepartments within the same institution because of their geographical location.
