engineeringprograms do not explicitly address it throughout their curricula. For instance, there are manycompetitions, challenges and opportunities for the demonstration of design skills, but most areoptional or extracurricular, catching only a portion of engineering graduates in a somewhat adhoc manner and at variable or even random places and times. As Walesh states, "Yes, we couldindividually and collectively rely on accidental creativity and innovation, those wonderful butrare out-of-the-blue events. However, why not complement accidental creativity and innovationwith the intentional kind?"11(pxviii) Making development of creativity skills a deliberate part ofengineering curricula is vital. If we do not integrate the development of these important skills

. For those with a good background in differential calculus, and the desire for atheoretical orientation, Calculus IIB is recommended. Calculus IIIA and section two of Calculus IIIBare for freshmen with strong preparation in both integral and differential mathematics. The mostdedicated and experienced can take Calculus IC. Their courses are impressive on paper butineffectual in practice. The A-sequence is designed to teach applied mathematics; it suffers from students taking thecourse description too literally. Freshmen, particularly engineers in Calculus A have virtually nointerest in mathematics per se; they view calculus as a tool for use in the physical or socialsciences and desire only to learn how to use it.

Not only do we needcontributions from educators on specific courses, but we need much more contributions frompsychologists, behavioral experts, and policy makers among others.Aside from a few and sporadic comments from students, there is very little research wherestudents evaluate this educational technique. The opinions of students who are currently takingshort term courses may be biased for various reasons. Opinions of students at a later stage likefive, ten and fifteen years after graduation are important and needed.That is, there is a strong need to investigate this topic holistically.
