Consequently,teaching the processes of creative problem solving and innovation becomes disjointed amongmultiple courses. Alternately, the content could be integrated into an existing course (e.g.,capstone/senior project). Unfortunately with this approach, the students will all be from thesame institution and potentially all from the same major. A multi-institution, multi-disciplinaryexperience is highly conducive to learning creativity and innovation.

After describing howstudents understand this topic, we wanted to move on to developing course materials to helpbuild on students’ existing understanding and address misconceptions. This is not an unusualprogression, and, indeed, our initial research in this area showed us that most course materialsthat are developed from research never achieve broad adoption4. Many engineering educatorsdevelop their own materials, duplicating researchers’ efforts and potentially denying students thebenefit of research-based materials with proven effectiveness.
