Needs of High Performing
Students

FIGS., FIE., FFIUCEE
Dr. Paul Torrance, (the Father of
Creativity)
 Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking
 Debunked the common assumption that IQ alone determined creativity
 Creative levels can be increased through practice
 Torrance defined creativity as “the Process of sensing
problems or gaps in information, forming ideas of
hypotheses, testing, and modifying, and
communicating the results”
 Torrance looked for creativity in science and
engineering.
Creativity as Applies to Engineering
 “The awareness, observation, conceptualization, and
rearrangement of existing elements to generate new
ideas” (Farid et al. 1993)
 “The production and disclosure of a new fact, law,
relationship, device or product, process, or system
based generally on available knowledge but following
directly, easily, or even by usual logical processes from
the guiding information at hand” (Santamarina and
Akhoundi, 1991)
 “ The capacity to perform mental work that leads to an
outcome both novel and applicable” (Pereira, 1999)
Innovation and Creativity
Innovation Creativity
“Creative Thought to Product”
 The creativity is something that leads to the
creative act or the creation of something new-
an idea, theory, or physical product.
 Innovation = Creativity?
The Debunked Notion? A Myth!
The notion of a “Lone genius
thinking up something brilliant and
changing the world” is a myth that
has fortunately been debunked
(Weisberg 1986; Bogen 1991;and
Richards 1998).
Creative Process
 The Essential Stages in the Creative Process:
 1. Sensing, testing, modifying, and
communicating (Torrance, 1963)
 2. Orientation, preparation, analysis, ideation,
incubation, synthesis, and evaluation (Osborn,
1993)
 3. Problem definition, preparation, illumination,
and verification (Farid et al. 1993).
Stages of Creative Process (Santamarina
2002)
 A notion or need (sensing, problem definition, and
orientation);
 An innovation of that notion or need (testing,
preparation, incubation, analysis, and ideation);
 An articulation of new idea or solution (modifying,
illumination, and synthesis); and
 A validation process of that idea or solution resulting in
an idea, theory, process, or physical product
(communicating, verification, and evaluation)
How Creative Engineers Think (Tom
Peters, 1998)
 Many groundbreaking design concepts
stem from simple, often sublime
reformulation of current thinking and
practice, and that these creative
breakthrough are often fed by study and
observation outside of engineering
paradigms.
What are Elective Courses?
Advanced Courses?
ELECTIVES ? WHY?
Gifted Children Program of USA
 Gifted children are selected through selection
tests
 The highest scoring kids are selected under this
program
 Allowed to take advanced courses
 Can complete the education faster and move to
next higher class .
Electives and Advanced Courses are
Essential to High Performing Students
to improve their competencies and become
job ready.
Reasons for Lack of Creativity of
Engineering Students
 Lack-luster curriculum leads to students’
disengagement
 Lack of creative planning of instruction
 Lack of knowledge on the industrial problems
 Lack of creative teaching
 Rigid curriculum
 Lack of innovation in outreach programs.
Possible Solutions
 Project-based Curriculum and Courses
 Interdisciplinary study programs
 Focused faculty training
 Conducive academic environment
 Flexible curriculum
 Academic autonomy
 Linkages with companies and Professional Associations
 Thinking outside the box
Career Theory Models
 General Expectancy Value Model (GEV) Model [Eccles-
Parsons et al, 1983; Eccles 2007]
 Considers experience and Socialization as factors in an individual’s
expectation of success in an endeavor
 Choices made in early adolescence
 Social Cognitive Career Theory (SSCT) [Lent et al. 1994]
 Based on two aspects of social cognitive theory (Bandura 1997);
self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations
 Incorporates contextual supports and barriers that shape career
choices and research across age groups
High Performing Engineering Students
 Maintains excellent scores in all academic activities
 Good in Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem
Solving Skills
 Willing to undergo one to three additional industry-
relevant courses (9 Credits)
 Willing to undergo three months on the-job-training
 Willing to register for a MOOC offered by edX, Coursera,
etc. which are related to his/her branch of specialization
 Interested in software courses
 Willing to undertake product design, prototype
development, testing, improving, manufacturing,
maintenance, scrapping and innovation.
Benefits to Engineering Colleges

Planning electives and advanced courses to meet the needs of high performing students

  • 1. Planning Electives and Advanced Courses to Meet the Needs of High Performing Students Thanikachalam. V., B.E., M. Tech., Ph.D., M.S., FIGS., FIE., FFIUCEE
  • 2. Dr. Paul Torrance, (the Father of Creativity)  Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking  Debunked the common assumption that IQ alone determined creativity  Creative levels can be increased through practice  Torrance defined creativity as “the Process of sensing problems or gaps in information, forming ideas of hypotheses, testing, and modifying, and communicating the results”  Torrance looked for creativity in science and engineering.
  • 3. Creativity as Applies to Engineering  “The awareness, observation, conceptualization, and rearrangement of existing elements to generate new ideas” (Farid et al. 1993)  “The production and disclosure of a new fact, law, relationship, device or product, process, or system based generally on available knowledge but following directly, easily, or even by usual logical processes from the guiding information at hand” (Santamarina and Akhoundi, 1991)  “ The capacity to perform mental work that leads to an outcome both novel and applicable” (Pereira, 1999)
  • 5. “Creative Thought to Product”  The creativity is something that leads to the creative act or the creation of something new- an idea, theory, or physical product.  Innovation = Creativity?
  • 6. The Debunked Notion? A Myth! The notion of a “Lone genius thinking up something brilliant and changing the world” is a myth that has fortunately been debunked (Weisberg 1986; Bogen 1991;and Richards 1998).
  • 7. Creative Process  The Essential Stages in the Creative Process:  1. Sensing, testing, modifying, and communicating (Torrance, 1963)  2. Orientation, preparation, analysis, ideation, incubation, synthesis, and evaluation (Osborn, 1993)  3. Problem definition, preparation, illumination, and verification (Farid et al. 1993).
  • 8. Stages of Creative Process (Santamarina 2002)  A notion or need (sensing, problem definition, and orientation);  An innovation of that notion or need (testing, preparation, incubation, analysis, and ideation);  An articulation of new idea or solution (modifying, illumination, and synthesis); and  A validation process of that idea or solution resulting in an idea, theory, process, or physical product (communicating, verification, and evaluation)
  • 9. How Creative Engineers Think (Tom Peters, 1998)  Many groundbreaking design concepts stem from simple, often sublime reformulation of current thinking and practice, and that these creative breakthrough are often fed by study and observation outside of engineering paradigms.
  • 10. What are Elective Courses? Advanced Courses? ELECTIVES ? WHY?

Career Theory Models  General Expectancy Value Model (GEV) Model [Eccles- Parsons et al, 1983; Eccles 2007]  Considers experience and Socialization as factors in an individual’s expectation of success in an endeavor  Choices made in early adolescence  Social Cognitive Career Theory (SSCT) [Lent et al. 1994]  Based on two aspects of social cognitive theory (Bandura 1997); self-efficacy beliefs and outcome expectations  Incorporates contextual supports and barriers that shape career choices and research across age groups
  • 16. High Performing Engineering Students  Maintains excellent scores in all academic activities  Good in Communication, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills  Willing to undergo one to three additional industry- relevant courses (9 Credits)  Willing to undergo three months on the-job-training  Willing to register for a MOOC offered by edX, Coursera, etc. which are related to his/her branch of specialization  Interested in software courses  Willing to undertake product design, prototype development, testing, improving, manufacturing, maintenance, scrapping and innovation.
