They are then challenged to apply each ofthe creative thinking skills to generate one or more ideas for the problem of fastening two piecesof paper together. Table 2 gives a result from this task. Next, students are asked to select adifficult area of their design project calling for creativity and to apply each of the creativethinking skills to generate a design alternative.

Our research investigates the impacts of these key factors on engineeringideation flexibility and correlates them with students’ cognitive styles.

to transform the system of architectural education, we must adopt new modes ofthinking and managing resources (NSC, 2003). To arrive at a new era in architecturaleducation, we need to establish cultural values and incorporate them in university curricula.The need for reform is not limited to architecture. Reform in other disciplines is important toarchitecture because architectural projects do not take place in a vacuum. Students majoringin other disciplines such as management, the natural sciences, and engineering should alsodevelop artistic and humanistic qualities to complement their technological competencies.Major projects almost always require the combined efforts of business managers, scientists,and engineers for their successful
