Creativity is a cornerstone of engineering disciplines, so understandingcreativity and how to enhance creative abilities through engineering education has receivedsubstantial attention. Fields outside of engineering are no stranger to neuro-investigations ofcreativity and although some neuro-response studies have been conducted to understandcreativity in engineering, these studies need to map the engineering design and conceptgeneration processes better. Using neuroimaging techniques alongside engineering design andconcept generation processes is necessary for understanding how to improve
