1.1 The Questions
Question 1: What is the student experience as they participate in knowledge during the Design Project, particularly in relation to development of Graduate Attributes?
The intent behind this question is to examine the module and its effectiveness from the perspective of those taking the module, the students. It is postulated that the transformative experience will result in development of relevant graduate attributes.
Question 2: To what extent dodelivery and assessment within this module contribute to the development of Graduate Attributes?
The intent behind this again is to more closely examine how the module's current design, content, delivery …

This position paper examines the value, delivery and assessment of creativity as a graduate attribute in civil engineering. Creativity is an essential skill for modern civil engineering graduates to allow them to respond to the variety of challenges within the industry. In addition, the need for creativity within their work is both directly and indirectly referenced within accreditation requirements from engineering professional bodies. How to deliver on creativity as a learning outcome requires time and space within the timetable, a difficult challenge in the technical content heavy subjects the make up civil engineering programmes. Added to this are the difficulties …
