| contents | Creativity is a fundamental element of engineering [5]. Creativity is concerned with the generation of effective, novel solutions to problems, while engineering, and engineering education have a similar goal, focused on technological solutions [9]. In recent years, creativity has become one of the most important issues in engineering education in Taiwan. Many trans-disciplinary projects in Taiwan have focused on the subject and hundreds of web pages display information on how to be more creative and achieve innovation in engineering. Studying university students' creativity is very critical for acquiring in-depth understanding of engineering education for educators and researchers who take great interest in education- or engineering-related fields. It has been emphasized that more females should be able to contribute to society in the engineering field [11]. Abraham [1] proposed that gender is an important affecting factor to creativity. As Kang and Yune [11] indicated that studying gender differences of creativity in engineering is important and practical in providing educational materials or teaching interventions for both male and female university students in the engineering field. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to analyze engineering university students' creativity by examining a sample of students in Taiwan. In addition, this study is to investigate the relationship between students' gender and engineering creativity. |
