摘要:AbstractStudents tend to learn faster through hands on participations. Guided problems solving outside the classroom environment has been regarded as better and a motivating learning method for these young generation. Innovation engagement among students from higher institution are very much encourage as their participation in the activities belief to result in a group of creative and innovative intellectual who will be future leaders and entrepreneurs. A survey was done on students from this institution to obtain their perception on the subject matter through a set of questionnaires adopted from similar study done elsewhere. A comparison of the responses from those that have directly engagement with innovation, invention and design project (IID group) and those without any direction engagement with innovation, invention and design project (non-IID group) was carried out. Students who participated in the innovation convention related themselves to be more confident and motivated in their study as compared to students who have not participated in any innovation, invention and design project. Their engagement in the project helps them in the teamwork and their communication skills. Their thinking is more influenced by their lecturers than by their friends. This finding is opposite to that of the students who did not participate in the project. Hence, the effort, time and money spent on engaging students with activities related to IID are worthwhile endeavour that steered towards producing competent graduates.
