Heuristic Models for Creativity Experiments in Architectural and Engineering Design Joseph A. Betz Professor of Architecture State University of New York, Farmingdale State CollegeAbstractMany cognitive processes contribute to the generation of creative problem solving. Oneimportant characteristic involves the combination and reorganization of certain kinds ofknowledge to form new and novel category solutions. It is posited that convergent and divergentforms of thinking are used to manipulate these combinations categories.

The table lists the 15 BOK1 outcomes, the specificrequirements articulated for each outcome in Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21stCentury, and the associated provisions of the ABET GCBLP and CEPC. An outcome-by-outcome comparison clearly demonstrates that the BOK outcomes represent a significantly moreambitious and comprehensive standard than do the ABET criteria. For example, consider BOKOutcome 1, which includes requirements for “biology, chemistry, ecology,geology/geomorphology, engineering economics, mechanics, material properties, systems, geo-spatial representation, and information technology.” The corresponding provision of

. However, Bronfenbrenner’s most recent writings indicatethat in addition to context, proximal processes (i.e., ongoing human interactions over time),person characteristics, and time effects also must be considered. Bronfenbrenner’s ecologicaltheory indicates healthy development is dynamic and continuous, separate from discretedevelopmental milestones occurring at particular points in time. To conduct ecological research,Bronfenbrenner proposed the PPCT model, a model which facilitates systematic study of thefollowing: (a) person characteristics (b) proximal processes; (c) over-arching, as well asimmediate, contextual influences; and (d) time effects.Bronfenbrenner4,5,7,8,9 theorized that individuals bring important person characteristics to

(b) The Math, MST and Art/Music majors exhibited the highest levels of SE, with Page 22.1044.13 these three populations exhibiting statistically significant higher SE levels compared to all other majors. A t-test between the Math and MST majors gave p(2-tail) = 0.095, indicating that there is no significant difference (to the α=0.05 level). Our hypothesis that the MST major eventually achieved the same SE as the Math major was valid, although there is certainly less difference
