Engineersare given minimal individual responsibility and, as a result, avoid taking the risks associatedwith questioning the status-quo, avoid any acting on their own initiative, and, avoid anyexperimentation with innovations. This means that they restrict opportunities for learning andskill development outside the narrow confines of their present role.Any attempt to extend the autonomy of individual engineers

. Practicing both convergent and divergent thinking is important to critical thinking, and both are used in problem solving.32 Traditional education in math and the sciences, and in a good part of fundamental engineering, focuses on scientific methods that use convergent thinking to get to the single-solution answers of closed-ended problems.31 Creativity and innovation, however, require divergent thinking and the metacognitive skills to manage it. So, in using engineering design to frame project work, High School Enterprise offers a vehicle both to instill the practice of divergent thinking in secondary students and to develop the metacognitive skills to use that practice effectively.4.
