The scale also demonstrated adequate internal consistency reliability.Correlations between children’s perceptions of their inventive habits of mind and theiridentification with STEAM subjects were moderate and highest for science. The findings suggestthat STEAM subject identification and an inventive mindset can, but do not always, overlap.Keywords: invention education, inventive mindset, STEM identity, STEAM, K-12 education.

In efforts that are educational in nature it would do the universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (34) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems
