Where should we go from here?

I wanted to write a bit today on the direction and purpose of this blog.  I work in the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education.  Our overarching mission is to enhance undergraduate education, particularly in the areas defined by the World Class Engineer, a model that Penn State has adopted in envisioning the attributes we hope our engineering graduates will possess.  One of our current initiatives involves the integration of creativity in undergraduate classrooms.

So, back to the mission of this blog...  One goal of mine is to collect case studies and examples to showcase how creativity has been used in engineering.  A second goal is to highlight interesting research involving creativity, particularly how it might relate to engineering education.  But ultimately, it will be an adventure where this blog ultimately goes. If anyone is out there, let me know what other things you would like to see discussed here.  And, if anyone sees interesting examples from the news or other sources that help to illustrate the creative process applied to engineering, let me know!
