Creative Ways of Knowing and the Future of Engineering Education

Within previous chapters of this book, members of the engineering education community describe emerging educational shifts in engineering teaching that draw on creativity and many ways of knowing. In this chapter, we project the future of these shifts using the voices of students within a graduate-level practicum class in engineering education who are embarking on their teaching careers. In this course, students were asked to review a draft chapter of the current text, provide a scholarly critique of the chapter, and write a reflection about the ways in which their teaching practices have been informed by this and other existing literature. This chapter presents the reflections of five students and serves to encourage continued work in this area as well as inspire creative ways of teaching and knowing throughout engineering education.
