Research Development; the Place of Creativity and Innovation in Engineering Education

Abstract

Is creativity a given by nature? Is this a legitimate question of all people that realize the value of creativity and hope to find it as often as possible, more in each human being? Thus, learning more and more about creativity, we better find out its direct connection to a certain domain. The tests applied to the students belonging to the engineering study programs increase the conviction that creativity lacks in their knowledge abilities. The engineering profession is realized by means of solutions projection that appeared and creativity is the instrument that is used by engineers in solving their problems. The tests results have shown modest creative abilities, which are valid for the students of both universities, in Romania as in Poland. More Although they belong to a promising generation “the Y generationâ€, the modest dimension of their creativity is exclusively due to the modest system of education in promoting creativity.
