It also demonstrates thatengineering faculty can develop and teach courses on technological topics to non-engineeringstudents. The successful courses taught by engineers span the entire

Following isa short excerpt: I was able to apply both of these skills (creativity and research) in conjunction during my internship where I had to design a test fixture…. During this time, I realized that innovation is not a linear process. The steps to pursuing a design is iterative, and creativity can be utilized simultaneously with research. I also learned that there will always be stages of failure. Learning how to overcome these challenges, thus gaining support from real engineers in the field helped build both my creative

He inquired how he could better help them toconnect their academic work to their practice. He and his co-author spend much of the bookdescribing how the liberal arts curriculum might be structured so as to do so. In this regard, theyview the liberal arts as cultivating the life of the mind, critical reason, and reflection.
