This engineering education research initiation grant supports an inter-disciplinary research collaboration between engineers and cognitive scientists to understand development of creativity in undergraduate engineering students. The study focuses on electrical engineering students, and uses a series of validated measures to understand the development of creativity in the junior and senior years. Data will be acquired using mobile "apps" that will be developed during the project.The broader significance and importance of this project will be to help engineering faculty and course designers better understand how to develop and enhance engineering students' creativity. The project, if successful, has the potential to inform efforts to create a more innovative workforce. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by supporting the development of innovative learning systems.

这项工程教育研究启动补助金支持工程师和认知科学家之间的跨学科研究合作，以了解本科工程专业学生的创造力发展。 本研究以电气工程专业学生为研究对象，采用一系列有效的测量方法来了解大三和大四学生创造力的发展状况。 数据将通过项目期间开发的移动的“应用程序”获取。该项目更广泛的意义和重要性将是帮助工程系教师和课程设计者更好地了解如何培养和增强工程系学生的创造力。 该项目如果成功，有可能为创造更具创新性的劳动力提供信息。 该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过准备一支具有新能力和专业知识的工程队伍来改变前沿。 此外，NSF通过支持创新学习系统的发展，实现了为社会创新的目标。
