Engineering grads are expected to solve a number of complex problems. But their studies do not always stress on real- world issues. Creative problem- solving often eludes them. That is where there is the need to build divergent thinking in them. To solve this, several companies have now started management training exercises aimed at building mindfulness. The likes of Google, Cisco, Facebook and P&G are among those to have started such programmes. Meditation too is useful as it helps improve the abilities at idea generation. Engineering design tasks have been integrated with students and professionals undergoing such training. It has clearly resulted in a creative upturn.
