ABSTRACT
This workshop will bring together researchers from the engineering design, engineering learning, and creativity communities to explore emerging theoretical and pedagogical issues related to creativity and cognition in engineering design. The need to produce a creative engineering workforce for the 21st century is well recognized. This workshop will help bridge the study of creativity (what is creativity in an engineering context) and cognition (how do engineering students become or act creatively). This workshop will lead to a framework for future research and strategies to prepare creative engineers.

Theoretical and practical thoughts on the interplay of patterns and creativity
EuroPLoP '15: Proceedings of the 20th European Conference on Pattern Languages of ProgramsWhile patterns are valuable tools for building on settled knowledge and thereby reducing the risk of failure, they also limit the freedom of creativity in design. After reflecting on the being behind actual being which highlights the need for an utopian ...
Improving Group Creativity: Brainstorming Versus Non-Brainstorming Techniques in a GSS Environment
HICSS '01: Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences ( HICSS-34)-Volume 1 - Volume 1Creativity is increasingly important in today's fast changing world. The use of Group Support Systems has been shown to improve the quantity and quality of ideas produced by groups during idea generation. Similarly, creative techniques may be used to ...
Changing conceptualisations of creativity in design
DESIRE '10: Proceedings of the 1st DESIRE Network Conference on Creativity and Innovation in DesignA critical dimension of a designer's work is the search for novel or original solutions to problems; it is about imagining and synthesising new possibilities. As such, a key element of design is creativity. Understanding creativity and how to enhance ...
