on Creativity, and Innovation, Diversity of Thinking andEntrepreneurshipThe ability to produce ideas, innovations, designs or products that are both novel and functionalis an essential component in engineering and the basis for creativity. However, while creativity isa necessary facet in development and innovation, researchers such as Kazerounian & Foley 1indicate that the engineering curriculum do not explicitly encourage creativity. It is an acceptedfact that analysis, as taught in many academic curriculums, is not a very good means ofgenerating originality or divergent thinking with is the cornerstone of creativity.2, 3 However, fewattempts are being made to facilitate student’s experiences and innovation by teaching

innovation while stillmaintaining high levels of technical proficiency.1, 2 Practicing engineers must constantlystrengthen their knowledge base and become more efficient in applying it. As processes andindustries rapidly evolve, they must use new and existing knowledge to solve novel andinnovative problems. Traditional teaching methods in engineering education have focused ontraining students to efficiently solve routine, textbook-like problems but fail to prepare studentsto use their knowledge flexibly in novel situations. While these typical routine problems arecommon in the curriculum, they are not representative of the problems that they will encounteras practicing engineers.
