The system is broken unless the goal is to produce and employ professionals who are utilizing a full spectrum of creativity. When they enter the profession, their focus is typically not on creative thinking. Many students arrive to college life as teenagers and in a few short years they graduate and reenter the outside world as young professionals. Many students come to a university and have to overcome preconceived notions and barriers that have been placed on them since the time they were perhaps the most creative: when they were 5 years old. The willingness and ability to do so is not easy for an 18-year-old who is just entering college, nor is it easy even for most individuals regardless of age. This journey is far less prescriptive and requires one to look inward to find a creative balance between skilled development and ways to apply it in creative ways. However, not everyone as creative thinkers develops in the same way or at the same pace. In a perfect educational model, these two objectives come together, develop in parallel, and complement one another. Educating future problem solvers involves a balance between finding their creative muse and acquiring the technical skills and expertise to be valued as a professional. This chapter begins with the acknowledgement that design students must go beyond skill acquisition and develop a unique way of seeing and experiencing the world.
