This paper focuses on enhancing innovative thinking skills of undergraduate engineering students. We present a "big picture" view on this subject and suggest specific ways for implementing it. The paper addresses the following three major questions: 1. What are the most relevant skills to become more innovative? 2. What kind of environment, curricula, and activities are essential to enhance these skills and stimulate innovation? 3. How can the identified environment, curricula, and activities be implemented and assessed?
