That creativity requires expertise in a field lends itself todomain being relevant in the creative process; for example, a poet of renown is not necessarilygoing to produce an innovative engineering design nor is an engineer going to write an award-winning poem. It is not impossible, but it is not predicted by any known assessments.An alternative to defining creativity as domain-general or domain-specific is to recognizecreativity as a habit that can be developed and applied to a variety of situations or domains [13]while creative products and

The System Engineering and Freshman Designcourse at the University of Southern Indiana is intended to help students develop qualities neededto prepare them for the remainder of their collegiate courses and for their career. In addition,freshman students gain exposure to engineering design early in their college education which is 1essential to continuing in the engineering courses. Researchers suggest that the learner-learnerinteraction can enrich learning outcomes [1]. Thus, peer-oriented educational activities such as thecreation of a functioning miniature racing car are critical in the learning journey of engineeringstudents

In thesoftware engineering field, we use this approach to provide feedback to students on their oralpresentations, videotaping them and critiquing them post presentation.The usage of active learning activities also aids software engineering students. Formal inspections,for example, are traditionally used on software engineering projects to improve quality.
