share of “solar” and “wind” has been considerably growing in thepast few years, and the trend is increasing over time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS), “solar photovoltaic installer” is the occupation with the highest percentage ofemployment with the growth rates of 105%, between 2016-2026 [3]. Based on the informationfrom the department of energy (DOE) depicted in Figure 2, about 42% (2015), 43% (2016), and40% (2017) of the job market in electric power generation technology was dedicated to solartechnicians. These statistical data indicate the importance of curriculum development for solarenergy technology to train hands-on students and technicians to meet the future job market. Fig 1.

engineering education does an excellentjob of educating students to apply important principles but has room for improvement indeveloping the necessary creativity skills required to solve complex problems. Figure 1 Creative and Routine Problem Solving [9]Barriers to EntryThere are understandable reasons why engineering curricula historically neglects developing andassessing creativity as a learning outcome. First, there is an increasingly large body of technicalknowledge that is important for engineering students to master and an ever-decreasing number ofstate mandated credit hours in which to address them. We may be concerned that adding non-technical elements to the curriculum will necessarily reduce the technical content
