Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the perception of 64 engineering students regarding facilitating and inhibiting factors in expressing personal creativity. The semi-structured interview was utilized for data gathering. Preparation, incentive, intelligence, and self-confidence were the factors most discussed as facilitators of expression of personal creativity. On the other hand, lack of flexibility, fear of making mistakes, lack of motivation and incentives were the factors most illustrated as inhibitors. A significant number of students expressed that there are barriers to expressing creativity, some more frequent among women, and some among men.
