A.R. Ovbiagbonhia; Bas Kollöffel; Perry Den Brok – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
The competence to innovate is critical for engineering students, as work environments and society are constantly changing. However, innovation competence is often not (explicitly) part of teaching, and teachers struggle to teach students this competence. To address this problem, a course to train undergraduate engineering students' innovation…
