Divergent Thinking during the Electrospraying Processes for Implementing Engineering Teaching in Higher Education

摘要

Knowing how to do divergent thinking is very important for cultivating the creativity of college students in high education. In this paper, an advanced technique-electrospraying was exploited as an example to explain how to foster the undergraduate students' divergent thinking. From the preparation of a working solution, the implementation of electrospraying process, the characterization of electrosprayed microparticles, and also the final potential applications of the mediated microproducts. Each of the above-mentioned steps comprises good materials for promoting the students to think divergently, learn actively, judge and make a decision using convergent thinking. It is suggested for high education that advanced technologies can be utilized as useful tools for cultivating the students' divergent thinking and innovation capability.
