Participants included capstone instructors/ coordinators (N=41), and capstone sponsorsas well as other industry representatives (N=16). The survey was designed to be brief and general. Some comments received during dataacquisition pointed out that the brevity of the survey contributed to a lack of clarity as to whetherquestions were dealing with sponsor problem statements or student derived problem statements.This lack of clarity was deliberate and was intended to parallel real-world, open, general

On top of that, STEM and engineering fieldsare characterized as rigorous fields and students in both fields apply and learn critical thinking andproblem-solving skills in their curriculum.

Creativity is generally viewed as an individual pursuit, and of course, itcan be, but groups can produce things which one person can hardly imagine. Spacecraft,cathedrals, good schools, parks, medicines and computers all result from group or “collective”creativity. Plays, exhibitions and concerts are enabled by individual creativity, but they aremade manifest by the creativity of a group.
