Picture Thinkers (BPT). In the corporate environment, there issignificant concern over the loss of BPT due to the retirement of Baby Boomer generationengineers. In the academic environment, the development of BPT aligns with efforts to prepareengineers who can work and innovate across disciplines although it may run counter to efforts todevelop engineers with specialized expertise. There is little empirical research on the skills,behaviors, and values of BPT in technology-based industries. Research is needed to develop alanguage of BPT that can guide professional development in the workforce and in academia, aswell as to understand the ways BPT are critical to driving a breakthrough mindset. In this paperwe present preliminary findings from a two
