本文综述了工程创新者应具备的态度、技能和知识。它批判性地分析和比较了来自美国，澳大利亚和马来西亚的研究生属性，这些属性与创新能力有关。创新可以被描述为一个综合的，Meta属性，凌驾于大多数其他研究生属性。由于“毕业生属性悖论”，它表明如何满足规定的属性的毕业生的行业并不一定满足行业的要求。本文认为，工科学校文化对培养工程师创新能力具有重要影响。
This paper reviews the attitudes, skills and knowledge that engineering innovators should possess. It critically analyses and compares sets of graduate attributes from the USA, Australia and Malaysia in terms of which of these relate to the ability to innovate. Innovation can be described as an integrative, meta attribute that overarches most of the other graduate attributes. Due to the “graduate attribute paradox”, it is shown how meeting the stated attributes of graduates by industry does not necessarily satisfy the requirements of industry. It is argued that the culture of the engineering school is an important influence on fostering innovation in engineers.
