Summaries

Summary Sentence: 2nd meeting of the SoTL journal club in Fall '13

Full Summary: How is creativity in engineering expressed, and how can we foster it in our classes?  How can we measure the extent to which our teaching has promoted creativity? 

This is the 2nd meeting of the SoTL journal club in fall 2013.  We will be discussing creativity in engineering education.  How does creativity manifest in engineering?  What teaching practices will foster or hinder creativity?  How can we measure the success of a certain technique?

 

We will be discussing the following articles:
