Creative problem solving (CPS) emerged as a critical soft skill for students, yet the evaluation and effectiveness of the CPS methods is not fully understood. This study examined the ideation effectiveness of junior design students. Students are asked to ideate for a complex challenge, a 1000-floor elevator in two phases, with a morphological analysis (MA) method introduced to them as an intervention after the first phase. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the MA method in the students’ ideation process and their creative thinking by using four measures of novelty, quality, quantity, and variety using the quantitative and qualitative methods. …

Creative thinking is the ability to generate a wide and detailed range of responses to a given stimulus. It is not a fixed skill; it can be improved through practice. Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a design course that fosters these abilities. The challenge-based course utilizes a generative learning approach. Students are given a series of assignments that prompt them to ‘do some-thing differently’ (i.e., eat something different). In their quest towards designing unique solutions, the students are forced to define the contextual meaning of each challenge, and to question how cultural, social, and personal norms limit their ideas.
