摘要
Many engineering curricula focus on educating engineers who are not only technically competent but also capable of designing innovative engineering solutions. In many of those curricula, creativity is fostered with instruction in design methodology, including ideation techniques such as brainstorming and TIPS/TRIZ. In this paper, factors that influence the creativity of freshman and senior level engineering students are investigated. The results support the hypothesis that freshman engineering students are more creative than senior engineering students and that the introduction of creativity enhancement techniques does not affect this result. The level of enjoyment experienced by the students did not affect the results significantly.
