Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of improving the creativity of engineering education. Nowadays, the engineering students are required to gather huge amount and updated information other than the available in the textbooks and lectures in order to build an adequate level of knowledge. The offered teaching methods in the engineering institutions have to reflect the emerging global needs to prepare students to be successful engineering managers in the future. Although the effort of improving the engineering education system is continuous, it is still challenging to effectively apply the creative teaching methods. The research of this paper presents the requirements of the modern global engineering education, suggests a number of creative teaching methods, and discusses barriers for implementing these creative teaching methods.
