Nonetheless, in multiple civil engineeringcourses in the Fall 2009 semester, individual course assignments were made for students todevelop infrastructure grades on their own. Students in these courses were primarily juniors andsenior majoring in civil engineering.Only two students were common to more than one class and no student was in all three courses.Thus, the assignment was unique and not

curricular strategy that has gained recent interest and attention for strengthening students’sociotechnical thinking is the incorporation of sociotechnical content into existing engineeringcoursework, where both technical and non-technical aspects of engineering are highlighted in theengineering curriculum. Sociotechnical material has been integrated into engineering sciencecourses (e.g., [31]-[35]) as well as other more technical engineering courses, such as anintroduction to computing course [36], a feedback systems control course [37], and a computervision technology course [38].

through considering alternative solutions, new materials or processes,reorganizing one’s conception of the problem, or finding novel ways to work withinconstraints17-19. In this way, creativity can be thought of as the opposite of routine design18.While a popular view of creativity may be linked to imagination or the ability to develop novelideas, positioning creativity as expansion demonstrates its applicability beyond conceptualdesign. For example, engineering creativity can be linked to identifying a new water purificationmethod, but it can also be linked to developing effective, inexpensive, and safe materials to usein that water purification system. Research shows that creativity is relevant even for engineerswhose work is not focused on
