skill can facilitate creative thinking because a highly skilledperson is better able to develop new techniques and skills. Highly skilled individuals are betterable to adjust their behavior to demands that arise, suggesting that skill is an importantdeterminant of the capacity to restructure.18 In engineering, this trend could be exemplified bysenior engineers approaching a problem breadth first, looking at many design solutions beforenarrowing on one, as opposed to junior engineers’ less creative depth first strategy19.In this paper, we focus on investigating the differences in creativity between freshman and seniormechanical engineering students. It is assumed that the differences between these two groups areprimarily due to their skill

We took an extra field trip to the school to investigate them andfound they had been sitting untouched for several years in a closet. The boxes were organized inthemes of Engineering, Transportation, and Research and were targeted to teach a differenttechnological system (Transportation, Communication, Power and Energy, Engineering.) TheBYU students were surprised generally at the amount of information and activities packed intothese carts.

With these objectives in mind, andto address manufacturing education needs to promote and understand agile manufacturing concepts, aunique graduate level course is being offered at the Department of Industrial Engineering, SUNY-Buffalo. Theobjective is to provide young manufacturing engineers with core competencies in both manufacturing andinformation technology, and the creative integration of the two to accomplish an agile industry.

The students were looking for a ways to integrate thenew “Hands on” course into the curriculum. The difficulty they encountered was coordinating thelabs in such a manor that the material would be covered in the corresponding introductory coursebefore the students were presented with a lab.

Appreciating complex interactions not only between designers and users,but also between engineers themselves, other human and non-human actors, and broader socialand cultural factors is an important aspect of a mode of contextualization that we describe associotechnical thinking. In this mode, contextualization is a key aspect of curriculum because ithelps students to understand what engineering is: namely, that engineering work is asociotechnical endeavor [10], [38].

People are confident in the engineering profession and believe it will do theright thing for society.
