Creativity and Innovation in Higher Education: A Conversation with Stu Walesh

We live in a time of great bounty in the social sciences and neurosciences in which once mysteries of the mind are being revealed in greater detail in ways that can be acted upon in both practical and educational settings. In this episode, host Dave Goldberg interviews consultant, engineer, author, and educator Stuart G. Walesh about his new book “Introduction to Creativity and Innovation for Engineers” (Pearson Education, 2016) and its implications for engineering education and higher education more generally. Stu has worked in the private sector, is a former Dean of Engineering and faculty member (Valparaiso University), and currently heads his own consulting practice. Join Stu and Dave for a lively conversation around the teaching and practice of creativity and innovation in and around engineering and higher education.
