In 2005, a new Creativity, Innovation and Enterprise (CIE) Option was created for second year students to learn new skill-sets that are geared towards moving up the manufacturing value chain. This curriculum framework aims to infuse a mindset for Creativity, Innovation & Enterprise where students learn foundation product design and development skills in year 2 and apply them in their final year “CIE Option Project” (capstone project). This paper describes the achievements and results of the new option, making references to educational reforms and initiatives from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) as well as Singapore Polytechnic‟s best practices.
