摘要
Creativity is essential to solving complex engineering problems, but the focus in engineering education is on applying approaches and skills that are predictable, routine, and lack creativity. To address this issue courses on design thinking are being incorporated into the engineering curriculum. This work is an attempt to understand the impact of such a course on creativity and motivation for creativity amongst first-year engineering students. The results show that such courses can have a net positive impact on developing creativity and motivating creativity amongst students.
