I gave a talk at the University of the West of England (UWE) last week on injecting creativity into the engineering curriculum. See the presentation below (posted on www.slideshare.net). The talk argues that we are still trying to make do with an engineering curriculum crafted by the demands of post World-War II era and the cold war, and that our fast-paced, human-centered times demand a greater emphasis on human concerns, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
