skills and stimulate innovation? 3. How can the identified environment, curricula, and activities be implemented and assessed? For engineers of the future, technical capability alone will no longer be a distinguishing feature.Clearly, a broader-based educational experience that teaches leadership, innovation, andentrepreneurship is required in an environment that enhances and extends “non-traditional Engineering”curricula. The “Stay within the lines,” “Do not break the crayon” and “Find the ‘right’ (and only) answer”attitudes are archaic. Instead, we must focus on thinking outside-the-box, taking risks, and being criticalthinkers, creative and imaginative. Graduates must be prepared for a work environment that uses so-called “soft

.4.5.1 CreativityCreativity is probably the most sought attribute for engineering competitions such as ScienceOlympiad or the ASEE Novel Endoscope competition. Both provide environments for studentsto encounter problems that must be solved in an innovative manner. Many of the bestengineering competitions do not simply encourage, but demand creativity of successfulcompetitors.One important aspect of creativity highlighted by competitions is the ability to take a step backand look at things from a different angle. This may actually involve looking at a material from adifferent physical and figurative angle. For example, in a mechanical engineering course anissue with testing a theory arose where the only solution identified so far was to

strongly asserts that both innovative and entrepreneurial behavior can be taught: “Well, the common question is ‘Nature or nurture?’ Can you teach entrepreneurism? Absolutely. Can you make somebody more creative, innovative? Absolutely.”-EdwardAssertion 6There was a strong belief that some aspects of innovativeness are based upon personalitycharacteristics which resulted in a belief that some engineers are more innovative while otherengineers are less innovative. This belief is shared by other researchers. 19-21David sees engineers as two types of people, those who break the world into manageable chunksand those who synthesize and connect the dots to innovate and create opportunities: “A lot of people that I deal with on a
