Technological CreativityThe importance of the technological
creativity.Creativity cognition can be trained and
learned.An interdisciplinary research team in NCU
developed to cultivate the technological creativity in engineering students:- A set of learning modules.
- A web-based learning environment.

Objectives Introducing creativity skills. Encourage students to think in depth and bring
in the connotation of technological innovation.
Develop students' self-confidence in implementing their creative ideas.
Through the functions of computer and network, establish a collection of integrative courseware to empower the students with creative design capabilities.

Engineering Courseware of Domain KnowledgeThe creative activity cannot be successful
without domain knowledge at its foundation.
Working on their design projects, students need to integrate their previously learned knowledge while acquiring the new.
Knowledge delivery just-in-time through full text web search.

The Electric Circuits and Electronics with LaboratoryEstablish mechatronic design and implemen
tation capability in ME students.Fundamental, integrative and application ori
ented.Contain pop quizzes, which require trials, o
n-site observations, comparisons and self-examinations.
Action research on teaching performance and learning difficulties.
2000 International Conference on Engineering Education
13
The Innovative Application of Engineering Software Integrate fundamental engineering software
into the project design.Apply CPS process in the class: target →
search → check → action, enhancing the creative thinking and problem-solving skills early in the freshman year.
Construct a multimedia learning environment to enhance the teaching and learning effectiveness.

The Creative Mechanical Design - 5 : WWW
Establish excellent on-line cooperative learning environment, to encourage students to discuss their ideas creatively.
Complete multimedia lecture notes with discussions and exercises in and after class.
The procedures of the creative project design.The video records and reports of students’
creativity contests.The video records and reports of students’
final design projects.

Search EngineStudents may encounter many difficulties
throughout their design projects- lack of initial stimulation- lack of know-how knowledge
Stimulating ideas and domain knowledge exist in the on-line courseware and in the discussion contents in the creativity activity board.
Students can retrieve relevant information easily using appropriate key words.
2000 International Conference on Engineering Education

Future WorksFurther development of creative supporting
tools.The web activity recording and analysis
facilities to evaluate individual student's creative problem solving process.
The implementation of network classroom.Further expansion of courseware contents on
domain knowledge.
