Abstract:

The development of creative talents is essential to the foundation of a highly innovative nation and its future. Such a mission could only be possible through the reform and innovation of higher education. In this context, one major direction for higher eduction reform is to investigate effective ways to design and implement innovative teaching methodologies, and how to instill creative thinking into our students, regardless of teaching model and course structure. Targeting the training and development of master's students in software engineering, this paper explores innovative teaching methodology for creative learning in conjunction with project based a "capstone design project".This manuscript further reports effective research and practice results in developing curriculum innovation, instructional methods, as well as teaching and assessment metrics.
