Abstract
This research on creativity in undergraduate engineering education asks whether undergraduate engineering students in a Fall 2016 course will develop enriched creative skills in other learning and professional environments as a result of having taken the course. The motivation for this study comes from the need for a clearer understanding of how and where to teach creativity in the undergraduate curriculum and a clearer understanding of how students transfer skills and knowledge from one setting to another. As well as studying students’ creative growth, the research will analyze students’ metacognitive development. What do students learn about how they learn by taking thiscourse? Is this knowledge valuable? Are students able to better articulate their creative processes once they have finished the course? Have they found ways to make use of this advanced knowledge? The results from this research are preliminary and inconclusive, but appear promising. Research data at present consists primarily of audiorecorded interviews with consenting students, and more data is likely required to provide better certainty about whether students have been able to transfer their creative activity from this course to other situations.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
