Appropriate advising content for a technically rigorous chemical engineeringprogram will be used as examples of how to motivate students towards exploring options andmaking decisions that open new doors to professional development. The issue explored is thatself-determination comes from inside the student and that confidence in

Within the present paper, we use a survey instruments containing components adapted from the work ofothers (e.g., Dweck, 2007) to study the self-evaluations of students from a single university pursuing undergraduatedegrees in multiple engineering and computer-science disciplines.

for creative thought and exploration. It is vital to equip and permit students to cultivatetheir creative problem solving abilities; and let’s face it, the world needs better creative problemsolvers with a technical education. Unfortunately, engineering faculty face similar struggleswhen it comes to space and intentionality for creativity. Moreover, engineering educators as awhole are even less skilled at teaching creativity; some might even say that creativity simplycan’t be taught. But still, the world needs better creative problem solvers with a technicaleducation.This paper details a series of creative problem solving interventions at Rose-Hulman Institute ofTechnology (RHIT) implementing a creative problem solving tool with documented
