| Summary: | <p>The objective of this study was to design and develop a creative thinking skills module</p><p>for engineering design process at tertiary level. The study also aimed to evaluate the</p><p>effectiveness of the developed module in improving the creative ability of the</p><p>engineering undergraduates. The module was developed using the ADDIE instructional</p><p>design model. Mixed method was utilised during the evaluation phase at the studied</p><p>university. The participants were recruited from third year engineering students</p><p>enrolled in an advanced engineering design related module. Quantitative and qualitative</p><p>data were collected using Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, Creative Solution</p><p>Diagnosis Scale and an open-ended questionnaire. The control group comprised 30</p><p>students while 32 students formed the intervention group. Quantitative data was</p><p>analysed using Paired Sample T - Test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney</p><p>U Test. The feedback from the participants who completed the intervention programme</p><p>collected through questionnaires was analysed using Thematic Analysis. The findings</p><p>of this study illustrated that the module was successful in improving the students ability</p><p>in Fluency, Originality, Elaboration and Resistance to Premature Closure creative</p><p>thinking abilities. The module also facilitated the students ability to design more</p><p>creative product. The conclusion was that the creative ability of engineering</p><p>undergraduates could be improved via creative thinking training. The implications from</p><p>this research suggested that creativity education would be able to improve the creative</p><p>ability of engineers and facilitate them in the process of designing more creative</p><p>products.</p> |
