Within this process, steps 1, 2, 3 and 4can all highly benefit from divergent thinking, one of the best known dimensions of creativeability. Often overlooked for the role that creativity plays in it is problem definition andresearching the problem. More commonly accepted is the value of creativity in developing andplanning possible solutions. Some textbooks include specific techniques for teams to

Analyses of performance and predictor data, as well as surveys of theliterature and of non-retained students, produced several recommended actions based ondocumented best practices.

In particular, the program is a Capstone Design 2-semester course thatadditionally has design and build criteria as a requirement. Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements.

The curriculum leveraged most of itscoursework (>75%) from the main campus, with a few specialty courses taught by the localdepartment in Galveston. While in principle, this new degree is valuable and addresses a uniquearea of industry need, it has proven difficult to offer in practice.Thus, it was recently decided that rather than try to adapt the main campus’s multidisciplinarydegree to the needs of the Galveston campus, a new approach was needed.

This approach to networktechnology education requires an understanding of switch and router operation. However, anextensive analysis of educational materials in this area has indicated that these devices aretypically treated as 'black boxes'. Such an approach may not be best suited to the promotion oflearning as students are required to construct their own mental model of the internal operation ofsuch devices and which may, or may not, be correct. To address this problem a state model hasbeen designed for both switches and routers which allows complexity to be controlled and hencecan be used as a basis for teaching both introductory and advanced
