Interdisciplinary dialogue on creativity is necessary to understand its functioning and evaluation.
The main limits of creativity research result from its methodologies and an absence of contextualization.
Creativity may be evaluated through three invariants that comprise the relationship to rules of individuals, a group and a context (social, cultural and discipline-related).
The learning process for creativity in engineering students begins through their own portrayals of the creative process.
The depictions of creativity by teachers and researchers participate at the limits and to the extent that it is possible to support creativity among engineering students.
