Is creativity a given by nature? Is this a legitimate question of all people that realize the value of creativity and hope to find more of it in each human being as often as possible? By learning more and more about creativity, we can better discover its direct connection to a certain domain. It is considered to be the aptitudes, knowledge, and personality characteristics that sustain and lead to creative thinking – to the creative behavior needed to have a creative a specific background to the developing domain. Different domains need to have different personality abilities, knowledge, aptitudes, and characteristics. The tests applied to the students belonging to engineering study programs increase the conviction that creativity is lacking in their knowledge abilities. The engineering profession is realized by means of a solution projection that has appeared, and creativity is the instrument that is used by engineers in solving their problems. The tests results have shown modest creative abilities that are valid for the students of both the universities of Romania as well as in Poland. More than that, although they belong to a promising generation (“the Y generation”), the modest dimension of their creativity is exclusively due to the modest system of education in promoting creativity. Solutions are at the hand of academic management: by means of bettering of the engineering curricula, of bettering the didactic behavior of the academic staff, and by means of sustaining the creativity concept in an engineering education.
