Two structural equation models (SEMs) have been developed for data analyses with onecontaining grade point average (as a proxy for achievement) as the outcome of interest and thesecond with engineering creativity and propensity for innovation as the outcome of interest.These two models indicate that use of pedagogical practices impact students’ creativity andpropensity for innovation and propensity for innovation impacts students’ achievement (withGPA as a proxy.) Notably, background characteristics also have impacts on the two outcomes ofinterest.

, results of the annualassessment tests, and best practices/advice for each of the methods were presented and publishedat the 2014 and 2015 ASEE Annual Conferences.14, 15While the concept inventory tests are very valuable for assessing gains within a course, they donot give any information on the lasting effects of those gains. In the author’s situation,substantial changes to the physics-mechanics class resulted in significant gains in the FCI testscores. Those gains indicate an improved understanding of conceptual knowledge from start toend of that particular course. What is not clear is how lasting those gains are. That is, do thegains in conceptual understanding carry through to subsequent courses that make use of the sameconcepts?This paper

We then take the natural next step by proposing to test thehypothesis that problem-solving in design under constraint is a transferrable skill with thepotential to augment engineering students’ problem-solving ability if practiced in multipledomains rather than only (and seldom) in the engineering domain.The literature review presented here is intended to form the basis for a long-term pedagogicalstudy on the impact of substantive and progressive engagement in an art practice on students’problem-solving
