Creativity and innovation in engineering education

Abstract

Creativity is vital in process engineering innovation. The research can reveal with certainty on tests of creativity whether in universities, in cycles (bachelor, master and doctoral school), creativity is present and what are its dimensions prevail. Our study was focused on creativity tests analysis of two European universities, the AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Drilling Oil & Gas, PL and »Lucian Blaga« University from Sibiu, RO for two cycles of study, master and doctoral school. We aim to find existing links between creativity and engineering skills of master's programs offered and the level of creativity existing in doctoral schools of the two universities. Knowing and understanding the characteristics of the group of students, teachers surgery offers the opportunity to get a successful learning and professional development. Then, these findings can be used to optimize learning, performance and perfection engineering training. Not least research highlights the first noticeable effects of the Bologna cycles studies on the generation »Z« (milliennials) students, in terms of creativity existence.
