Contributing to the idea that design coursesare the place for creativity is the growing body of educational research on students’ creative skilldevelopment in design settings. Design courses often serve as the focal piece for engineering Page 14.918.6studies of creativity, and engineering instructors have achieved good success with a variety ofapproaches to creativity.

IntroductionEngineering curricula have traditionally been developed around fundamental engineering coursesand this has resulted in programs prioritizing simple problem-solving activities over open-endedproblem-solving and integrative design learning experiences [1], [2], [3]. Although manyengineering schools have cornerstone and capstone projects that contain significant designopportunities for students in the first year and senior year, respectively [4], there is a need toscaffold student’s design skills throughout an entire curriculum [5].A critical need in curriculum development is the ability to assess student design knowledge.

Introduction We live and work in a global environment that presents many new and universalchallenges for engineers and, as engineering educators, it is not sufficient to prepare students toonly understand the fundamentals of technical skills. We must also prepare them to workeffectively in global environments and across different cultures (Warnock et al., 2008, Stablein etal., 2022).
