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:

Genco, Holtta-Otto, and Seepersad.  "FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE CREATIVITY OF ENGINEERING STUDENTS".  ASEE 2011 Conference paper
