“…the concept of active learning with the emphasis being on a learner-centred approach is one which is highlighted by many as an approach which will prepare engineering students to be adaptable and prepared for their future careers, (Baillie and walker, 1998;Blashki et al, 2007). some of the main approaches to creativity in engineering education are highlighted below.…”

“…However, engineering students have been found to be better prepared for solving engineering problems by introducing concepts like creativity outside of traditional classrooms 10 . Therefore, teaching engineering students the creative process should be performed in an immersive environment with student-centered, experiential activities 11 . Such environments allow professors to act more as facilitators, allow students to take greater responsibility for their own education, and increase the levels of interactive education and peer-to-peer learning 11 .…”

The United States National Academy of Engineering produced its seminal work, The Engineer of 2020 -Visions of Engineering in the New Century, to prepare industrial, governmental, and academic institutions for the future of engineering. The authors of the report state, "Emphasis on the creative process will allow more effective leadership in the development and application of next-generation technologies to problems of the future. " In 2011" In , 2012 undergraduates from Valparaiso University participated in a four-day off-site extracurricular fieldtrip focused on creativity, innovation, teamwork, and leading the creative process. The course was taught by members of the engineering faculty and included on-location sessions and tours led by employees and cast members from an external training organization. Pre-and postcourse surveys identify a significant improvement in the students' understanding of the roles of leadership, communication, and teamwork in the creative process. In an attempt to determine how much the students benefitted from the fieldtrips, a full class dedicated to the creative process was taught along with the trip in 2014. Quantitatively, students who participated in only the fieldtrips showed improvements similar to those who also participated in the full class. However, additional qualitative results indicate that students who participated in the full course with a fieldtrip experience had higher levels of confidence and affinity for the program.

Students and faculty members in the health professions classroom are expected to exhibit professional behaviors that are conducive to maintaining a positive learning environment, but there is little published research concerning incivility in the area of dental education. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in perceptions of incivility between dental faculty and students, between students in different courses of study, and between students in different years of dental study. The study utilized an anonymous electronic survey of all dental faculty and administrators and all dental, dental hygiene, and dental laboratory technology students at a single institution. The survey instrument contained questions concerning perceived uncivil behavior in the classroom and clinical settings. Response rates were 54% for faculty and administrators and ranged from 60% to 97% for students in various years and programs. The results were analyzed based on gender, course of study, year of study, and ethnicity. Signiicant differences were found regarding perceptions of civil behaviour between faculty and students, male and female students, the year of study, and the course of study. These differences point to the need for further research as well as administrative leadership and faculty development to deine guidelines in this area in order to ensure a positive learning environment.
